NIO keeps going up and the $1000 challenge is now up at $5500, but will this continue? And Nasdaq, will Nasdaq just go straight to 25.000 points?This and some tips and tricks in this week's episode of "Trading Tips With Jim"
China's EV industry faces its biggest test yet as the December 31, 2025 deadline approaches for massive subsidy cuts. In this deep dive, I break down what's really happening behind the 40,000+ NIO ES8 orders that crashed their system, why companies like BMW, Toyota, and Tesla are recalling hundreds of thousands of vehicles despite better technology, and which EV manufacturers will survive when subsidies disappear.The numbers are staggering: purchase tax exemptions dropping from 30,000 to 15,000 yuan, delivery delays pushing into 2026, and consumer complaints up 37% year-over-year. But here's the twist - the companies recalling products might actually be the strongest players in the market.I analyze the real conversion rates behind inflated order numbers (hint: only 10-30% of "orders" convert to actual sales), the supply chain crisis hitting CATL and BYD Semiconductor with 24-hour overtime shifts, and why NIO CEO William Li warned Q1 2026 could see 50% demand collapse.This isn't just about NIO - this affects Tesla, BYD, XPeng, Li Auto, and every player in the world's largest EV market. When subsidies end, only companies with genuine technology advantages, sustainable cost structures, and corporate responsibility will remain standing.Key topics covered: China EV subsidy policy changes, NIO ES8 production capacity crisis, purchase tax exemption ending December 2025, automotive recall trends, supply chain challenges, order inflation in Chinese EV market, Q1 2026 demand forecast, battery swap advantages, and what separates surviving companies from failing ones.Whether you're invested in Chinese EV stocks, considering purchasing an electric vehicle, or tracking the future of automotive technology, this analysis explains what mainstream media won't tell you about the coming industry shakeup.NIO stock, China EV subsidies, electric vehicles China, NIO ES8, purchase tax exemption, Chinese EV market, Tesla China, BYD stock, EV investment 2025, automotive recalls, William Li NIO, battery swap technology, EV supply chain, Q1 2026 forecast, Li Auto, XPeng, China automotive policy, EV subsidy ending, NIO bull case, electric vehicle stocks, CATL battery, China NEV policy, EV market crash, automotive industry analysis, EV stock analysis, Chinese stocks, green energy investingTAGS (500 characters):
Met accuwisselstations, NIO Houses en een sterke focus op mensen in plaats van alleen mobiliteit, daagt het merk gevestigde premiumspelers uit én laat het zien hoe communitymarketing de autowereld kan definiëren.

XPENG just raised $100 million through asset-backed securities at AAA ratings with 2.28% rates - cheaper than China's government benchmark! This proves every EV startup MUST raise capital to compete, not just NIO.In this episode, I break down why NIO's recent $1 billion raise and XPENG's ABS deal show the same pattern across ALL Chinese EV companies. The dilution fear is missing the bigger picture.Key Points Covered:XPENG's groundbreaking ABS deal details and what AAA ratings meanWhy 2.28% coupon rates signal strong market confidenceHow NIO's Q4 profitability roadmap actually makes senseLi Bin's 150,000 delivery target and 16-17% gross margin goalsWhy capital raising is industry standard, not company weaknessThe real difference between smart capital deployment vs desperationThis isn't about being a NIO bull or bear - it's about understanding how capital-intensive industries work during massive transitions. Tesla had Elon's wealth, BYD has scale, but companies like NIO and XPENG must access capital markets strategically.The market is telling us something when XPENG gets AAA ratings and sub-benchmark rates. When NIO completes $1B raises in hours with international demand. The smart money isn't worried about dilution - they're positioning for the profitability inflection point.Whether you're invested in NIO, XPENG, Li Auto, or just want to understand EV market dynamics, this analysis cuts through the noise with real data and strategic thinking.
NIO's latest move just sent shockwaves through the entire EV industry. The Chinese EV giant unveiled their third-generation ES8 at a price point that has Tesla, BMW, and Mercedes scrambling to respond.In this deep dive analysis, I break down why NIO's new ES8 isn't just another car launch - it's a complete market disruption that could reshape the luxury EV landscape forever.Key Points Covered:How NIO achieved 298,800 yuan pricing while IMPROVING profit marginsWhy their ordering system crashed within hours of announcementThe 40,000 unit production capacity that's already been exceededAdvanced AI capabilities that make Tesla's FSD look outdatedWhat this means for German luxury automakersLi Bin's path to Q4 profitability and why it might actually workThe technology breakthrough everyone's missingMarket implications beyond just NIO stockThis isn't just about delivery numbers - this is about understanding the strategic chess moves that determine which companies survive and thrive in the EV revolution. Whether you're invested in NIO, Tesla, or just trying to understand where the EV market is heading, this analysis gives you the insights you need.The data is shocking, the implications are massive, and the timing couldn't be more critical. Don't miss this breakdown of one of the most important EV developments of 2025.
El IAA Mobility de Múnich ha dejado un mensaje claro: las marcas chinas han llegado con más fuerza que nunca al corazón de Europa.

NIO stock dropped 9% today after announcing a $1 billion share offering at an 11% discount - but is this the price of the phoenix's rise or a warning sign?

William Li just dropped TWO bombshells that change EVERYTHING about NIO's future. In a shocking September 3rd briefing, he revealed NIO's tech revenue REALLY comes from McLaren (not Chinese battery swap partners!) AND predicted the entire Chinese EV industry could COLLAPSE by 50% in Q1 2026.

NIO Q2 2025 Earnings Analysis: The Objective Bull's PerspectiveNIO just reported their Q2 2025 earnings with a $697 million loss, and instead of rushing out a hot take, I waited 24 hours to let the numbers marinate. As a NIO bull trying to stay objective, here's my honest breakdown of what these earnings really mean.What We Cover:NIO's narrowed losses and improved operational efficiencyThe path to Q4 profitability - realistic or overpromised again?Multi-brand strategy momentum (NIO, Onvo, Firefly)September delivery guidance that could break recordsCommunity reactions from bulls, bears, and everyone in betweenWhy the energy ecosystem angle changes everythingBalance sheet concerns and cash runway realityTechnical competitive advantages being overlooked2026 product roadmap and strategic focusKey Takeaways:NIO posted their smallest loss since Q4 2023 with 26% quarter-over-quarter improvement. R&D expenses down 6.6% while deliveries jumped 71% QoQ. The company is targeting 150,000 Q4 deliveries and their first quarterly profit.But execution remains the biggest question mark. William Li has missed delivery and profitability targets before. The difference this time? Operational improvements are already showing, and the multi-brand strategy is gaining real traction.The Bottom Line:NIO is at an inflection point. The next six months will determine whether they become the Chinese Tesla or a cautionary tale about overpromising. Current share price around $6.32 suggests the market is pricing in about 50/50 odds of successful execution.This isn't financial advice - just one NIO bull's attempt to stay grounded while analyzing one of the most controversial stocks in the EV space.#NIO #EVStocks #EarningsAnalysis #ChineseEVs #NIOStock #BatterySwapping #ElectricVehicles #StockAnalysis #Investing #TechStocks

Tu Le says there were plenty of bright spots in NIO Inc.'s (NIO) latest earnings, which he argues lays the groundwork for significant growth. He adds that it and Chinese competitors like BYD Co. (BYDDY) continue to push the "innovation envelope" as Tesla (TSLA) struggles to accelerate international sales. Lauren Fix makes the case that it's hard for any EV maker to break out in North America. She says there's not enough interest in EVs to generate profits companies are seeking. Another headwind Lauren labels: tariffs, and how they add to already expensive costs for most consumers.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Whether you're invested in Chinese EV stocks, traditional automakers, or just trying to understand where this market is heading, these insights will change how you see the entire sector.The EV game is changing faster than most people realize. Companies with clear vision and consistent strategy will dominate. Those chasing trends and making desperate moves will fall behind.#EVStocks #NIO #Ford #ChineseEVs #ElectricVehicles #StockAnalysis #InvestmentStrategy #TechStocks #AutomotiveIndustry #MarketAnalysis
Volatility is picking up in the stock market, but the Nasdaq still signals further upside within a steady rising trend. The end of the week could be pivotal for what comes next.Before that, we'll get the inflation prints: CPI on Tuesday and PPI on Thursday. Consensus looks for July CPI at +0.2% MoM and ~2.8% YoY.Many economists have argued since February for higher inflation. Jim disagrees—he argues lower energy prices will keep inflation in check, offsetting tariff pressures by reducing production and transport costs.Thanks to a strong rally in NIO since the last podcast, the $1,000 Challenge is now heading toward $4,000.All this and more in this week's episode of Trading Tips With Jim.Topics: Nasdaq, CPI, PPI, inflation, energy prices, tariffs, NIO, stock market outlook, trading strategies.
Hon har gått i bräschen för Europas ytterhöger och har själv haft siktet på den yttersta maktpositionen men är det nu berättelsen om Marine Le Pen tar slut? Vår sommarserie handlar idag om frontfiguren för det franska partiet Nationell samling. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Sedan 2011 har Marine Le Penn lett det ledande högernationalistiska partiet i Frankrike - först under namnet Nationella fronten och sedan Nationell samling. För tre år sedan klev hon av partiledarposten och lämnade istället över till Jordan Bardella för att kunna fokusera på presidentposten. Men i mars i år stod det klart att hon döms för förskingring av EU-medel - till fyra års fängelse, höga böter - och hon får inte heller kandidera till några offentliga uppdrag under fem år. Innebär det slutet för Marine Le Pens långa politiska karriär?Medverkande: Alice Petrén, författare och före detta Sydeuropakorrespondent på Sveriges Radio, Marie Demker, professor i statsvetenskap vid Göteborgs universitet. Producent och programledare: Katarina von Arndt
Jill and Tom open the show by discussing a rumored new Tesla product for the Chinese market, and the impact of tariffs on Tesla prices in Canada. The hosts also chat briefly about how Chinese EV builder NIO is dealing with battery-swapping “cheaters” in its home market. Still in the first segment, Jill and Tom review the Subaru Forester in new-for-2025 hybrid trim. The hosts find themselves in complete agreement on this small crossover. In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Chrysler CEO Chris Feuell to the Car Stuff Podcast. Chris talks about how the brand is celebrating its 100th anniversary as a carmaker, key products in the marque's history, and what comes next for the storied automaker. Chris shares updates on some additions coming to the Chrysler lineup in the near future. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's “Was it a Chrysler?” quiz, which includes a bonus question about Bolivian fast food. Jill wrapped up the podcast with a brief tribute to a longtime writer/colleague who passed away last week.

Welcome to pilot episode, or probably better to call it Episode Zero of EV News China – a limited-run of podcasts I'll be doing from next Monday and then every weekday in July. I'll be sharing insights into China's EV revolution for listeners worldwide. I'm Martyn Lee, and EV News China is not replacing EV News Daily. Let me say first up, I'll be here with the usual global take on the EV industry. Instead, this will be series of bonus shows, which I hope will be essential listening for anyone interested in, or doing business with, the world's electric vehicle superpower. I wanted to drop a pilot episode to explain my thinking, and what a moment to launch. China has just reached an historic milestone that changes everything in the global automotive industry. In May 2025, plugin electric vehicles captured 53% of China's passenger car market – meaning electric vehicles are now outselling traditional gasoline cars for the first time in history. Think about that for a moment. The world's largest car market has just tipped electric. This isn't a prediction anymore – it's reality. After 7 years of doing this podcast, pretty much every day apart from some breaks when we had two new additions to our family, or some mental health breaks, I've been doing this 7 days a week. And I can't tell you a time when I've been more fascinated about how the rest of the world views the Chinese EV market. And in many cases, how it's still a blind spot for them. The Numbers That Matter Let me put this in perspective with some hard data that business leaders need to understand. Plugin vehicle sales in China topped one million units in May alone – in a market of 1.9 million total passenger vehicles. That breaks down to 31% pure battery electric vehicles and 22% plug-in hybrids and range extenders. For the year so far, China has already sold over 4.3 million plugin vehicles, putting the country on track to exceed 10 million units by year-end – in China alone. To put that in global context, that's more than the rest of the world combined. The leader? BYD dominates with 28.9% of the plugin market, delivering over 376,000 vehicles in May – a 14% year-over-year increase. Meanwhile, Tesla's China market share has dropped to just 4.6%, ranking fifth behind Chinese competitors. The Tesla Reality Check Speaking of Tesla, the numbers tell a sobering story for Elon Musk's company in China. Tesla sold about 58,000 vehicles in China during April 2025, down 6% from the previous year. More concerning, Tesla's retail sales to Chinese customers in the first eight weeks of Q2 2025 dropped 23% year-over-year. This reflects a broader trend – Chinese consumers are increasingly choosing domestic brands. Tesla's China market share in the BEV segment fell from 11.15% to 6.36%, while Chinese rivals like XPeng delivered 33,525 vehicles in May, up 230% year-over-year. The Financial Impact The financial implications are staggering. BYD doubled its Q1 2025 net profit to 9.15 billion yuan, with operating revenue reaching 170.36 billion yuan, up from 124.94 billion yuan the previous year. But it's not just about one company. The Chinese EV trio – NIO, XPeng, and Li Auto – are expected to see explosive growth in 2025: NIO deliveries expected to double to 450,000 units XPeng projected to reach 400,000 units, up 110% Li Auto forecasted at 700,000 units, up 40% These aren't small startups anymore – these are major industrial players reshaping global automotive supply chains. The Technology Revolution What's driving this transformation isn't just price – it's technology. Chinese companies are leading in areas that will define the future of mobility. Solid-state batteries are moving from lab to production. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology included all-solid-state batteries in core industrial standards for the first time in 2025, signaling this technology has moved from corporate R&D to national strategic priority. Artificial intelligence integration is accelerating rapidly. Over two dozen Chinese automakers, including BYD, are incorporating DeepSeek AI technology into their vehicles. BYD plans to offer preliminary self-driving capabilities in nearly all its models at no additional cost – making autonomous driving features accessible to mass-market consumers. Ultra-fast charging is becoming standard. Chinese companies like XPeng offer five-minute charging delivering 210 kilometers of range, while the industry moves toward 800V architectures that handle high current flow for rapid charging. Global Trade War Implications But this technological leadership is creating geopolitical tensions. The United States now imposes a 247.5% tariff on Chinese EVs – that's 145% from recent tariffs, plus 100% from Biden-era levies, plus standard duties. Anyone trying to import BYD's $7,800 Seagull to the US would pay an extra $19,300 in tariffs. Europe is taking a different approach, but Chinese brands still doubled their European market share in April 2025 despite tariffs reaching up to 35%. BYD faces a 17% EU tariff, yet still recorded 400% sales growth in the UK, where no tariffs apply. The contrast is stark: in tariff-free markets, Chinese EVs are winning on merit. The Infrastructure Foundation Supporting this EV revolution is massive infrastructure investment. China aims to complete an expressway charging network by end of 2025, with over 5,800 out of 6,000 expressway rest areas already equipped with charging facilities. The government has extended its vehicle trade-in subsidy scheme for 2025, offering up to RMB 20,000 for EV purchases when scrapping older vehicles. This policy has already attracted over 4 million applicants in its first six months. What This Means for Global Business So what does this mean for you – someone who might be an enthusiast of the EV transition, or maybe you work in the business of EVs or charging? First, China is no longer an emerging EV market – it's the dominant one. Any global automotive strategy that doesn't account for Chinese competition is already obsolete. Second, the technology gap is widening in China's favor. Chinese companies can design and launch new models in six months while German competitors require two years. Third, supply chain dependencies are shifting. China controls a large share of battery-grade chemical production, and Chinese companies are rapidly expanding globally – BYD now operates in over 70 countries. Looking Ahead Over the coming 20 episodes of EV News China, during this limited run of podcasts, we'll dive deeper into these trends. We'll analyze quarterly earnings, decode policy changes, and track the technological innovations reshaping not just China, but the global automotive industry. We'll help you understand what these developments mean for your business, your investments, and your strategic planning. Because in a world where China has achieved 53% EV market share, the question isn't whether electric vehicles will dominate – it's how quickly the rest of the world can adapt. That's all for today's pilot episode of EV News China. Starting Monday, I'll be here every weekday with the latest developments from the world's electric vehicle superpower. Sometimes it will just be a news show, sometimes we'll dive into a specific topic. Remember, EV News China is essential listening for anyone interested in, or doing business with, the world's electric vehicle superpower.
