NIO faces challenges as China’s EV market heats up
EV Manufacturer Nio is facing challenges in a rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) market in China, where competition is increasing. In addition, the company is experiencing supply chain issues, leading to production slowdowns and lower delivery expectations. The global semiconductor shortage has also affected the production of EVs, and Nio is no exception. The company expects to deliver 21,000 to 22,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2023, down from an earlier estimate of 23,500 vehicles. Despite these challenges, Nio’s revenue grew by 150.6% year-over-year to $1.37bn in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the company plans to expand globally, starting with Norway in 2023.
