Xiaomi's announcement of launching a new EV has caused a surge in Chinese EV stocks, including NIO, as the company aims to become one of the world's top five automakers.

Stellantis Secures $1.6 Billion Investment in Chinese EV Startup Leapmotor

Stellantis, the parent company of brands like Jeep and Dodge, has announced a $1.6 billion investment in Chinese electric vehicle (EV) startup Leapmotor. The investment will establish the Leapmotor International joint venture, with Stellantis holding a majority 51% interest. The move aims to boost sales of Leapmotor's EVs overseas and help Stellantis gain a stronger foothold in the competitive Chinese EV market. Stellantis currently holds just a 0.3% market share in China. The deal will provide Stellantis with access to Leapmotor's technology and manufacturing capabilities, while Leapmotor can leverage Stellantis' network to expand its presence in Europe. However, previous partnerships between traditional automakers and Chinese companies have faced challenges, casting some doubt on the success of this investment.
