While much of the discussion of the Chinese EV market revolves around Nio, XPeng (NYSE: XPEV), and Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI), the overwhelming leader in new energy vehicle production is BYD. On Saturday, the company will be launching its Atto 3 crossover in Australia. This will be BYD’s first expansion into Australia in the electric vehicle market, and is sending one of its top sellers, the Yuan Plus rebranded as the Atto 3. BYD leads the Chinese new energy vehicle market, and is rapidly expanding its market around the world.
NIO stock price
Meanwhile in Hong Kong, Nio-rival XPeng has been added to the exclusive Hang Seng Tech index as a constituent stock as of March 7th. This index lists the 30 top technology companies listed in Hong Kong, and XPeng will be one of the newest additions under the index’s Autonomous technology segment. Nio was looking to list in Hong Kong last year and has since turned its eyes to Singapore’s exchange in addition to its current listing as an ADR on the New York Stock Exchange.
