One of Nio’s largest domestic rivals, XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) reported its first quarter earnings before the opening bell on Monday. The EV maker reported a loss of $0.28 per share and revenues rose by 144% on a year over year basis. Investors were disappointed that sequential sales numbers fell from last quarter when the company saw 303% sales growth from the previous quarter. XPeng’s rest of year guidance came in lower than expected as the company takes into account lower production numbers due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in China. Nio finally announced that it will be reporting its first quarter earnings on June 9th.
