Chinese EVs: Global Ambitions Amid Domestic Challenges
Despite record sales, many Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers like Nio, Xpeng, and Zeekr are struggling financially due to a fierce price war and the pressure to launch affordable models. Nio reported a significant net loss of $700 million in Q3, while Xpeng and Zeekr also faced substantial losses. In contrast, BYD has thrived, posting strong profits and surpassing Tesla in quarterly sales, benefiting from its vertically integrated manufacturing approach. Xpeng's CEO predicts that only a few Chinese EV companies will survive the next decade.
