The United States plan to levy tariffs on imports from China's emerging industries, including a potential 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles (EV). Experts argue that the US' protective measures reveal its defensive mindset and its struggles in competing with China's new energy industries.
NIO
On Wednesday, 15 May, NIO launched the first vehicle in its new lower-priced brand Onvo which aims to compete there with Tesla's Model Y, the worldβs best-selling EV. Nio unveiled the Onvo L60 SUV with a sticker price starting from 219,900 yuan, 12% below the price of Tesla's Model Y which starts at 249,900 yuan in China. Nio plans to start delivery of the Onvo L60 in September.
NIO daily chart
As we can observe from the chart above, the stock started well early of the week and erased all its gain towards the end of the week. Well, technical wise, everything seems to be still quite healthy for NIO. The share price stays well above the EMA50 and EMA25 trend line. Moreover, EMA25 is pretty close with EMA50 and I believe a golden cross should be expected to happen pretty soon. For such, I remain bullish with Nio $NIO Inc.(NIO)$
XPENG
This week, Xpeng has officially announced its entry into Hong Kong, as the electric-vehicle maker doubles down on its expansion plans along with its domestic peers. Also CNBC reported that, Xpeng AeroHT, an affilaite of Xpeng, will aim to deliver its flying car to customers in 2026.
XPENG daily chart
For Xpeng, the chart is pretty similar as compared dto Nio. Currently, the stock is challenging it's EMA50 resistant line and try to break above it. For me, I believe next week earnings result will be the key decider of the share price direction. I vote bullish for Xpeng $XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$
LI AUTO
Li Auto is reportedly undergoing massive layoffs, with sales falling short of expectations. The company is in the midst of a new round of layoffs that could involve more than 18% of its workforce overall. The company delivered 25,787 vehicles in April, up 0.41 percent year-on-year but down 11.03 percent from March.
LI daily chart
Technical wise, as compared to Nio and Xpeng, Li Auto has the weakest chart for the moment. The share price stays well below all the EMA trend lines, as we can see from the chart above. Same as Xpeng, Li Auto will release its earnings next week and the results will be critical towards Li's share price. However, based on technical analysis, all indicators show a bearish sign for Li Auto $Li Auto(LI)$
