Why NIO Stock Is Lower Today

Shares of Chinese electric vehicle maker NIO (NYSE: NIO) were trading lower on Monday, on sectorwide weakness after another electric vehicle start-up reported sales well below Wall Street's expectations. As of 2:30 p.m. EDT, NIO's American depositary shares were down about 5.6% from Friday's closing price. The Chinese government has developed new regulatory standards for electric vehicle battery swap stations, and NIO -- which operates one of the country's largest battery swap networks -- helped to write the new regulations.
