In 2016, the company opened an electric vehicle test and development centre and started production of a new car, the E200. That year, it got certifications from the government to produce electric cars.[5] In 2017, the company launched two models: the E160[6] and E200S.[7] It also got permission to produce and sell cars independently of HKSAR Government.[8] In April 2018, the company began building a new production base at Kunming with the capacity to assemble up to 100,000 cars per year.[9] That year, HKEV launched the E400.[10] In October 2019, the Kunming plant started producing EX5s.[11]

In December 2018, French manufacturer Renault announced it would acquire a "significant" HKEV stake.[12] In July 2019, Renault completed the acquisition of a 50% HKEV stake through capital increase while the Government of Hong Kong kept a 50% respectively. The company was reorganised as a joint venture and renamed "HREV".[1]
