NIO LinkedIn job postings hint at possible expansion to US market
By: Electrek | December 24, 2021
• Multiple job postings recently added to LinkedIn by NIO’s vice president suggest that the Chinese automaker’s expansion into the US could be coming sooner rather than later. NIO has recently shared plans to expand to 25 different countries and regions by 2025.
Despite being founded just seven years ago, NIO has established itself as one of the leading EV automakers in China, and has already begun to expand into other markets overseas.
Earlier this year, the automaker announced plans to sell its ES8 SUV in Europe beginning in Norway, followed by its flagship ET7 sedan. By June, it had received approval for mass production of its ES8 for markets throughout Europe, furthering its expectations for expansion.
As its proprietary superchargers and battery swap stations were making their trek to Norway via, job postings hinted at a new presence in Germany and The Netherlands. Sure enough by September, the automaker had confirmed entry into Germany next, beginning with the ET7 in 2022.
Most recently, the automaker held its annual NIO Day event in China, and in addition to unveiling a second sedan called the ET5, shared intentions to further expand to 25 countries and regions around the globe including Denmark and Sweden.
With its latest job postings, NIO appears to have the US market in its sights as well.
LinkedIn posts hint at NIO expansion plans for US
Tip of the hat to CnEVPost for pointing out multiple recent job posts from NIO Vice President Business & Corporate Development, Saurabh Bhatnagar including Head of User Infrastructure Construction & Readiness. Here’s that job description based in San Jose, CA:
The Business & Corporate Development Team at NIO USA is responsible for the strategy, planning and execution of NIO’s Go-To-Market for the Americas. This is a strategic corporate initiative, sponsored by the CEO & CFO, and comes with high visibility and tall expectations!
As the Head, User Infrastructure Construction & Readiness, you will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of key NIO infrastructure in the Americas, to support NIO’s business model and user experiences. NIO’s infrastructure must be strategically located, built in compliance with local standards, and adhere to NIO’s global expectations. You will lead the collaboration with world-class internal experts and external partners to have that infrastructure built out from scratch to scale in the Americas.
There were 46 new job postings by the company for San Jose alone, as well as one position in Seattle, WA. Other interesting job openings include Head of Power Strategy and Head of Architecture and Design.
Since hiring has just begun, it’s difficult to say when entry into the US market would begin, but it appears imminent. As you can see from the map below featured on NIO Day 2021, the company has plans for plenty of other regions, including Australia and New Zealand.
The next focus will be on NIO’s progress (good or bad) in Western Europe, until we hear more from the automaker directly. It’s safe to expect that the next expansion news will surround what EVs they will be bringing to its latest list of European countries.
Still, it will be exciting to ponder the prospect of NIO coming to compete with some major EV automakers on United States soil.

Nio's new ET5 EV rivals the Model 3 with a claimed 620-mile range
By: Engadget | December 19, 2021
• The company also plans to be a truly international automaker by 2025.
Nio's soon-to-arrive ET7 is practically tailor-made to challenge Tesla's Model S, and now the company appears to have a (partial) answer to the Model 3. Electrek says Nio has introduced the ET5, a more affordable "mid-size" electric sedan. It starts at RMB 328,000 (about $51,450), or well under the roughly $70,000 of the ET7, but offers similarly grandiose range figures. Nio claims the base 75kWh battery offers over 341 miles of range using China's test cycle, while the highest-end 150kWh "Ultralong Range" pack is supposedly good for more than 620 miles. You'll likely pay significantly more for the privilege and may not see that range in real life, but the numbers could still tempt you away from higher-end Model 3s if long-distance driving is crucial.
You can expect the usual heapings of technology. The ET5 will have built-in support for autonomous driving features as they're approved, and drivers get a "digital cockpit" thanks to Nreal-developed augmented reality glasses that can project a virtual screen equivalent to 201 inches at a 20-foot viewing distance. Nio has teamed with Nolo to make VR glasses, too, although it's safe to say you won't wear those while you're driving.
Deliveries are expected to start September 2022. That's a long way off, but Nio appears to be on track with its EV plans as it expects to deliver the ET7 on time (if only just) starting March 28th.
This launch also dovetails with Nio's tentative steps outside of China. The brand only expanded to Norway in 2021, but it aimed to begin sales in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden in 2022. You should see the badge in 25 countries and regions by 2025. While Nio still won't count as automotive heavyweight by that stage, it could easily put pressure on other EV makers within a few years.

‘NIO Day’ Featured a New EV and AR Goggles. Will They Be Enough to Boost the Hard Hit Stock?
By: Barron's | December 18, 2021
Chinese electric vehicle maker NIO (ticker: NIO) hosted an event for car buyers—and investors—in China on Saturday morning Eastern time. A brand new model, to be delivered in 2022, was announced. And the technology NIO is packing into its cars is something to behold. There are even augmented reality glasses—like something out of an Avengers movie.
The new vehicle is the ET5 midsize sedan. It’s a higher-end model starting at about $50,000. With NIO’s battery as a service subscription, the initial purchase price is about $40,000. NIO will let car buyers pay a monthly fee, essentially, separating the battery purchase from the car purchase.
The new sedan comes with roughly 500 horsepower and will go zero to 60 miles an hour in about 4 seconds. It should be able to drive up to 430 miles per charge, a big number although Chinese and U.S. range statistics are reported differently.
The ET5 is also equipped with advanced safety features including lidar sensors.
Lidar is essentially laser-based radar and most auto makers believe lidar is one of the technologies required to achieve truly self-driving technology. The ET5 also comes equipped with the company’s latest self-driving software. NIO Autonomous Driving or NAD, as the company calls it, will maintain driving speeds and do some steering, but drivers still need to pay attention to the road at all times.
All the software for self-driving—and the software running other car systems—runs on a computer powered by Nvidia (NVDA) chips.
Then there are the glasses. NIO unveiled augmented reality glasses that are integrated with the car. “The visual experience is as good as a 201-inch screen at 6 meters away,” said NIO founder William Li. The glasses can display vehicle information. Drivers won’t have to look down to check speed. The glasses drew applause from the assembled crowd.
NIO plans to deliver the ET5 by September 2022. The company also provided an update about its new ET7 sedan. Deliveries of that model should begin in March 2022. The ET7 was unveiled at the company’s last big event in January 2021.
NIO stock jumped 6.5% to more than $60 a share the Monday following that January event—and it could use another bump now. NIO stock has fallen 22% over the last month to $30. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average are down about 2% and 1% over the same span. NIO’s third-quarter earnings were fine. Earnings and deliveries don’t seem to be what’s troubling investors most. Instead, delisting fears about U.S.-listed Chinese stocks have hammered NIO and its peers. XPeng (XPEV) shares are down 12% over the past month.
How the stock reacts to the new model, new technology and proposed delivery dates will say a lot about investor sentiment toward highly valued EV makers and U.S.-listed Chinese stocks in the coming weeks.

Is Nio Stock A Buy As A Catalyst Looms For The Tesla Of China?
By: Investor's Business Daily | December 11, 2021
China's Nio (NIO) continues to see robust demand for its luxury electric SUVs, while growing its lineup of electric cars and innovating EV batteries. But chip woes linger. Is Nio stock a buy right now?
At the Nio Day on Dec. 18, the EV startup could show off a cheaper, entry-level ET5 electric sedan. It could also reveal a new, mass-market brand. Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu considers the upcoming event a catalyst for NIO stock.
Founded in 2014, Nio had little experience in vehicle manufacturing when it came on the scene. But the EV startup, sometimes called the Tesla of China, went on to deliver booming sales. Unlike Tesla (TSLA), Nio does not make its own electric cars, instead partnering with a state-owned auto manufacturer.
Nio Earnings And Fundamental Analysis
On key earnings and other fundamental metrics, Nio lags. It's a young and fast-growing company, still looking to turn a profit.
Nio stock earns an EPS Rating of 45 out of 99, and an SMR Rating of D, on a scale of A to a worst E. The EPS rating compares a company's earnings growth vs. other companies. The SMR Rating measures sales growth, profit margins and return on equity.
On Nov. 10, Nio delivered a less-than-feared loss for the third quarter. Nio lost 6 cents a share while revenue soared 117%. But the startup gave weaker-than-expected Q4 revenue outlook, as chip shortages and production challenges continue.
Analysts expect Nio to pare losses to 66 cents per share for all of 2021 from 73 cents in 2020, according to FactSet. Revenue is seen surging 123% this year.
In Q3, Nio doubled EV sales, but Chinese startup rivals Li Auto (LI) and Xpeng (XPEV) nearly tripled sales. In October, Nio's EV sales plunged 27.5% while Li Auto and Xpeng continued to see triple-digit, year-over-year growth. Chip-supply issues and manufacturing upgrades ahead of new EVs in 2022 weighed on sales, Nio said.
Amid stiff competition, Nio is speeding up new EV launches. It aims to deliver three new products in 2022. Those include the ET7, its first electric sedan and most high-tech vehicle yet. The ET7, unveiled at the 2020 Nio Day, is set to offer more than 600 miles of battery range, as well as highly autonomous driving.
Its launch is set for Q1 2022 in China and by end of 2022 in Europe...
Is Nio Stock A Buy Now?
From a fundamental perspective, Nio's financial condition is improving after debt and liquidity fears slammed shares. It has significantly pared losses while delivering huge top-line gains.
An expanding vehicle lineup, entry into Europe and battery innovations mean more runway for growth. But the EV wars are heating up. In the near term, the chip supply crunch poses a headwind to Nio. Longer term, battery supplies could be an even bigger headache for EV stocks at large.
Nio stock is near a 52-week low and does not have a current buy point. But it's a promising and high-growth EV stock, so check back for updates.
Bottom line: Nio stock is not a buy right now.
