While January vehicle deliveries came in lower than expected, Nio and XPeng (NYSE: XPEV) are moving forward with plans to scale their production. Nio’s second production facility has been under development since last year and should be ready at some point in the second half of 2022. Now, Nio rival and AliBaba (NYSE: BABA) backed XPeng is upgrading its facility in Zhaoqing, which should boost its annual production as well as the release of new models like the G9 SUV later this year. 

NIO stock price

With delays in Nio obtaining a listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the company is turning to nearby Singapore for a second listing. With the ongoing regulatory crackdowns from the Chinese government for companies listed on US exchanges, Nio has been dealing with endless red tape after it applied for a listing in Hong Kong. This does not really have an impact on US investors who have shares of Nio’s ADR, other than the company would have another listing if were to ever be forced to delist from the US.
