Tesla Rival Nio To Roll Out Mass-Market EV Brand In May: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
Nio Inc is launching a new mass-market EV brand, Onvo, targeting Tesla's Model Y, with plans to introduce a model under $30,000 in Europe next year. The Onvo brand will feature the L60 model, aiming for global launch by year-end, while a second sub-brand, Firefly, targets a 2025 release. Nio is expanding in Europe, moving away from its subscription model to increase distribution. Amid cost-cutting measures, Nio's stock has declined over the past year, but it remains accessible through ETFs like KGRN and PGJ.
