HONG KONG-China's electric-vehicle makers, buoyed by their success in eclipsing foreign rivals at home, are increasingly venturing abroad as the country's car exports surge. Led by the Warren Buffett-backed auto giant BYD Co., Chinese EV makers have launched a dozen own-branded models across at least 16 countries over the past two years, including in most major economies in Northern and Western Europe.
A couple of years ago, simple electric vehicle charging points popped up seemingly overnight around a village near the Ming Tombs, a collection of imperial resting places dating back half a millennium.

Nio may not be a recognizable name in the US, but it is becoming a leading player in China's EV market. Despite a brush with death at the start of 2020, it has managed to turn things around and become one of the world's most valuable automakers.
China's electric-vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:) had an extraordinary 2020. Nio shares started the year near all-time lows but exploded in the summer. Record-high closes were hit regularly for months. By the end of November, NIO stock topped $55, a whopping 1,389% gain since the start of the year.
China's Nio Inc will form a joint venture with Beijing E-Town International Investment and Development Co. Ltd which will invest 10 billion yuan ($1.45 billion) in the new entity, the electric vehicle (EV) maker said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Chinese EV startup has made more cuts to its autonomous driving division after a recent deal with Intel-owned Mobileye. NIO has spent much of 2019 looking for ways to cut costs to stem its massive losses, and this is the third round of US layoffs this year.
The Tencent-backed EV startup is making a second round of cuts in the US, laying off 62 employees from its North American headquarters in Santa Clara, California. NIO has struggled in 2019, in part because sales of its ES8 electric SUV have declined thanks to vanishing government subsidies and the trade war with the US.
The coronavirus outbreak is having a sizable impact on the Chinese economy. Car sales have slumped and will probably stay subdued for the entire year. Chinese electric car-maker-Nio-was already cash strapped, and the coronavirus outbreak will likely push it into bankruptcy. The growing number of coronavirus cases has crippled the Chinese economy.
Nio shares on Thursday jumped after the Chinese electric-car maker reported that its vehicle deliveries nearly tripled in June and in the second quarter from the year-earlier periods. Nio delivered 3,740 vehicles in June and 10,331 in the second quarter. The second-quarter figure was more than double the first-quarter figure.
BOULDER, Colo.--()--A new Leaderboard Report from Guidehouse Insights evaluates the strategy and execution of 21 electric vehicle (EV) upstarts, with Rivian, NIO, and Nikola ranked as the leading market players. Interest in and adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) continues to grow globally, driven by declining costs from battery innovations and supportive government policies.
NIO ( NYSE:NIO) will likely report its June deliveries in a few days. Usually, monthly delivery data is a strong catalyst for the stock's short-term movement. We'll see if the June delivery data could help NIO stock reach greater heights. So far, NIO has reported strong deliveries in the second quarter.
The government of a city in eastern Zhejiang Province on Wednesday said it has ended talks with Nio about an investment to build a factory in the city, the latest blow to the troubled Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker.
China's electric vehicle maker NIO landed on the New York Stock Exchange a year ago when investors were pouring billions of dollars into China's electric car industry. But it's since become obvious that China's EV startups are money pits, not quick profit generators. The carmaker today (Sept.
Several have tried and failed, but Nio might have figured out how to make battery swapping viable for electric cars as it completes its 500,000th swap. Over the years I have been covering electric vehicles, I've seen several companies attempt to add value to EVs by using swappable battery packs.
New data released by the Treasury Department and the Small Business Administration shows that a number of EV startups like Byton, Lordstown Motors, and Karma Automotive received loans from the Paycheck Protection Program. The program was spun up to help small businesses keep employees on their payroll during the pandemic.
BEIJING - Once on the brink of bankruptcy, one of China's largest electric car makers is pressing ahead with plans to expand to Europe and beyond. Nio, which listed in the U.S. nearly two years ago, is arguably China's closest competitor to Tesla.
The share prices of Tesla, NIO, and other electric vehicle makers rose to new heights on Monday.
Electric-vehicle maker NIO announced on Thursday the formation of a battery-asset company. The Chinese manufacturer wants to separate the ownership of the car from the ownership of the battery. It is a novel idea. Providing batteries as a service, as NIO (ticker: NIO) puts it, has two main advantages.
A look at Silicon Valley businesses, their leaders and industry trends.
Nio ( NIO) announced a new service allowing its electric car buyers to rent car batteries for a monthly subscription. Nio stock fell. The new battery-as-a-service (BaaS) program gives buyers the option to buy the car and subscribe separately to use the batteries, lowering the price tag.
Chinese electric-vehicle maker and Tesla peer NIO reported quarterly earnings Thursday morning, and results were pretty good considering the damage the Covid-19 pandemic wrought on the Chinese economy in the first quarter. That news is good for NIO shareholders-and for Tesla shareholders as well.
Crisis Communications
In today's complex business landscape, strategic communication and reputation management are not optional-they are critical drivers of success.
(Reuters) - Cash-strapped Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio Inc () said on Wednesday there was substantial doubt in its ability to continue as a going concern, sending its shares down 12% in premarket U.S. trading.
Leading Chinese EV startup NIO has recalled nearly 5,000 of its ES8 electric SUVs after multiple reports of battery fires surfaced over the last few months in China. SUVs built between April 2nd, 2018, and October 19th, 2018, are included in the recall and will need to have their battery packs replaced.
Retrospective, including the skipped earnings call
One year after becoming a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, Chinese EV startup NIO appears to be in dire straits. The company lost $479 million during the second quarter of 2019, and only generated $220 million in revenue, thanks to a major dip in sales of its flagship ES8 electric SUV.
Two-time E-Prix winner Abt was suspended by Audi last month after he used a sim racer to take his place in the FE Race at Home Challenge Esports competition.

The coronavirus stock market rally rebounded from Tuesday's sell-off, with growth names leading and tech titans Apple ( AAPL), Microsoft ( MSFT) and Amazon.com ( AMZN) running to all-time or closing highs.
The Trump administration began releasing details of which businesses received Paycheck Protection Program aid. WASHINGTON - The Trump administration, under pressure to reveal which companies received loans from a $660 billion program intended to keep small businesses afloat, on Monday released data showing that restaurants, medical offices and car dealerships ranked high among the top loan recipients.
Billionaires, country clubs, private jet companies and Kanye West all received millions in government funding under the Paycheck Protection Program, according to the Small Business Administration. The PPP loans and grants were part of the $2 trillion CARES Act, which President Donald Trump signed into law this spring.
Kanye, Kushner, the Girl Scouts, Burning Man, and more were listed as PPP loan recipients by the SBA. Some have disputed the accuracy of the data.
has earned billions in regulatory credits over time by selling more than its fair share of zero-emission cars. It has notched additional profits by selling those credits to auto makers who fall short of zero-emission mandates. More sales of regulatory credits could be on the way in the near term, as China is ramping up its own zero-emission regulatory credit program.
"Nio has secured $435 million in the form of short term convertible notes, which positions us to continue our operations." This funding should secure continued operations for 2020. In addition, Nio reiterates its "US R&D operations will remain in Silicon Valley, California and our design operations will remain in Munich, Germany."
Electric vehicles have captured the imagination of people around the world. Investors want their piece of the fast-growing EV industry, and China's NIO has been a popular pick among those interested in its electric SUVs. Dan Caplinger has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.
Small-business owners who haven't yet applied for forgivable loans designed to ease the economic pain of the Covid-19 pandemic now have another chance. Congress passed legislation extending the deadline for submitting applications for the federal Paycheck Protection Program, and President Trump signed the bill on July 4.
The boxing promotion run by Floyd Mayweather, named the highest-paid athlete of the 2010s by Forbes, was among a long list of sports entities that received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans from the federal government during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tom Brady 's company TB12 was also on the government's list of companies granted loans.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - RISC-V is open for business, proponents will claim at the first annual summit for the open-source instruction set architecture today. The Silicon Valley event comes at a time when backers say that China is rallying around the architecture with perhaps hundreds of RISC-V SoCs and dozens of cores in the works.
The open source movement changed how companies build software. Facebook, Twitter, and Yahoo employees pitched in during the early days of the data-crunching software Hadoop. Even after the relationship between Apple and Google soured, the companies' coders kept working together on an obscure but important piece of software called LLVM.
