The main news that was pushing the Chinese EV sector higher was the third quarter financial report from Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI). The company tripled its revenues year over year to $1.2 billion USD, and outpaced Nio in quarterly deliveries. While deliveries came in higher, Li’s revenues were actually lower than the $1.5 billion that Nio reported earlier this month. Nio receives additional revenues from battery swap subscriptions, and generally has a higher price tag for its luxury vehicle models.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares were on the rise as well, which always boosts other EV stocks on the market. Word has it that the company’s Berlin GigaFactory, which has been mired in delays from German government regulations, is finally set to open for production next month. Initially, Tesla has said that Berlin will only produce Model Ys, and is a large part of the company’s goal for 50% annualized delivery growth moving forward. Shares of Tesla were up 5.09% during Monday’s session.
