Tesla Inc TSLA rival and Chinese EV-maker Nio Inc NIO has suspended production at its factories owing to COVID-19 restrictions, reported Reuters.
The report cited local tech news outlet 36Kr, which stated Nio had started facing production challenges in mid-October due to virus prevention measures and this eventually led to both of its factories in Hefei stopping work.

“The vehicle production and delivery were constrained by operation challenges in our plants as well as supply chain volatilities due to the COVID-19 situations in certain regions in China,” Nio said in a statement.
