The big news on Friday in the Chinese EV market was that Nio rival XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) revealed its new SUV model: the G9. Perhaps the more exciting news that came from the announcement is that the company is eyeing a global expansion, with plans to head to the United States at some point in the near future. The G9 is slated to be available at some point in 2022 and is meant to be a direct competitor to both the Tesla Model Y and Nio’s ES8.

Shares of Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) surged higher by 17.34%, while newly public company Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) gained 4.23% during the session. The analyst even went so far as to say there would be an 80% chance the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) electric vehicle will be ready for consumers by 2024, and that he has confidence that Apple’s product will be ready to take on existing automakers. The analyst highlighted Apple’s autonomous technology as one of the key features that will set the Apple Car apart from its competitors.
