Nio

One of China’s brightest electric vehicle startups, NIO (NIO), reported a wider-than-expected Q1 loss. Although NIO expects EV deliveries to more than double in Q2, its stock continues sliding.

Who said EV sales were slowing? NIO kicked off construction on its third EV plant as the existing two can no longer meet demand. Amid reports that the new plant will boost production capacity to that of Tesla’s Shanghai plant, NIO’s president clarified rumors.

The first model of NIO’s new low-cost Onvo brand, the L60 electric SUV, could lead to a sales surge, according to at least one analyst. Aimed at Tesla’s best-selling Model Y, the NIO Onvo L60 could boost sales to over 20,000 per month as an even more affordable ($30K) option.

Chinese EV maker NIO launched the first EV under its new mass-market Onvo brand Wednesday. The new Onvo L60 electric SUV will rival Tesla’s best-selling Model Y at a cheaper starting price. Starting at just $30,500 (219,900 yuan), can NIO’s new electric SUV compete with the Model Y?

NIO is celebrating a potentially impactful milestone today. With the help of partner WeLion, NIO has begun mass production of its 150 kWh semi-solid-state batteries. With production now underway in China, we expect to see the safer and more energy-dense cells powering NIO brand EVs as early as this quarter.
