Nio(NYSE:NIO)could be off to the races after landing an Overweight rating from Barclays on a positive view ofthe Chinese electric vehicle upstart's potential on the world stage.

"We believe that the rapid adoption of EVs around the world and booming EV sales have presented China’s EV makers a rare opportunity to not only take a sizable market share of the domestic auto market – the largest in the world with about 25-30% global share by units sold per annum – but also build a dominant position on the world stage," noted analyst Jiong Shao.

Shao and team also pointed to upside with Nio's (NIO) strategic partnership with Chinese EV battery maker CATL that produces purpose-built batteries for Nio with the latest technologies co-developed by the companies. In addition, Nio's (NIO) battery swapping and battery leasing options are called highly innovative.

Barclays assigned a price target of $34 to Nio (NIO) to rep more than 40% upside for shares from yesterday's closing level. That price target is still well below the 52-week for Nio (NIO) of $64.60.
