MW Nio's stock surges after reporting deliveries more than doubled in 2021
Shares of Nio Inc. $(NIO)$ shot up 4.6% in premarket trading Monday, after the China-based electric vehicle maker announced record fourth-quarter deliveries.

Over the weekend, the company said it delivered 10,489 EVs in December, up 49.7% from a year ago. That lifted fourth-quarter deliveries by 44.3% to a quarterly record, and full-year 2021 deliveries to 91,429, which was up 109.1% from 2020. Nio's announcement comes as fellow China-based EV makers XPeng Inc. $(XPEV)$ said fourth-quarter deliveries rose 222% to 41,751 vehicles and Li Auto Inc. $(LI)$ said fourth-quarter deliveries grew 143.5% to 35,221.
