SMM Network News: at present, new energy vehicles continue to be favored by the capital market, and as a representative of the new forces of car-building, Weilai has also risen sharply in stock prices. As of press time, Xilai Motor was trading at $54 a share, with a total market capitalization of $73.411 billion (482.58923 billion yuan), surpassing BYD (464.112 billion yuan) to become the most valuable car company in China.

In addition to the immediate release of a car, the new model it is developing is also a car product, thus improving the layout of Weilai's products.
Editor's comments:
Founded in November 2014, Weilai Automobile is only six years old, but it has become the largest car company in China by market capitalization, which shows not only the advantages and potential of the new power of car-building, but also full of uncertainties. Just a few days ago, he Xiaopeng released a full email saying that he should not pay attention to the short-term ups and downs of Xiaopeng's share price and keep a balance in the fast run. For Ulai, the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation and keep rising sales and revenue.
