Nio has finally succumbed to rising costs of prices due to the ongoing global supply chain issues. The company is one of the last to raise its vehicle prices, as Nio announced it will be upping the price of its ET7 sedan as of May 23rd. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other EV makers have been forced to raise the prices of their cars, particularly in the Chinese market. While Nio originally denied that it would need to raise its vehicle prices, it seems that the rising cost of materials was too detrimental to its profit margins.

Nio also unveiled its long-awaited ES7 SUV model earlier this week. The vehicle came with some new technology, including Nio’s NT2.0 technology platform and new LiDar sensors in the front of the car. Nio has stated that the ES7 is going to be pivotal for its expansion into Europe, and that the model will begin selling in China as of this September.
