Isn't this the Chinese EV company that several high-ups from BMW i jumped ship to back in 2015? I wanna say it is ...

Nope.
That would be Byton, now a division of FMC (Future Mobility Corp.), partially owned by Foxconn (of Apple manufacturing fame), and in which the Chinese state (via FAW) is a major investor, so this company is plainly a direct competitor.
Eeeeenteresting.
