Thomas Niel 1.8 13 As a company, Nio has continued to make progress living up to longstanding expectations of it being a possible competitor to global EV makers like Tesla. Launching in its first market outside China (Norway) in late 2021{{footnote}}https://topelectricsuv.com/news/nio/nio-overseas-launch-plan/#:~:text=The%20much%2Dawaited%20Nio%20Norway,to%20more%20European%20destinations%20gradually.{{/footnote}}, it intends to gradually expand into other European markets.

Thomas Niel 1.11 15 At its 2021 "Nio Day" event, the automaker unveiled a second sedan model, the ET5, a possible rival to Tesla's Model 3{{footnote}}https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-18/nio-unveils-second-electric-sedan-to-compete-with-tesla-model-3{{/footnote}}. Nio is also making progress with another key part of its gameplan—what it dubs "battery as a service." Throughout China, it has established battery swapping stations, to enable customers to swap empty batteries in lieu of charging them. Now providing an average of 20,000 swaps per day, Nio plans to have 1,300 battery swap stations by the end of 2022{{footnote}}https://cnevpost.com/2021/12/18/nio-day-2021-live-updates/{{/footnote}}.

First, waning enthusiasm for EV stocks, fueled to some extent by the prospect of a more hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve in 2022, which could make speculative growth stocks less appeal.

With Chinese companies with US. stock market listings facing greater scrutiny, there is concern that companies like Nio will opt to delist from U.S. stock exchanges.
