Why It Matters: Nio launched the flagship sedan ET7 in January at the company’s annual day, complete with its second-generation electric drive system, and it is expected to compete with Tesla Inc’s TSLA Model S sedan. 

This system utilizes silicon carbide (SiC), which is considered more efficient, lightweight and compact than silicon. Tesla was the first to use SiC among all peers.

Price Action: Nio shares closed 0.68% higher at $38.66 a share on Friday.
