- Chinese electric car company Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) Chief Executive Officer William Li said the biggest challenge right now is ensuring supply chain stability, CNBC reported.

- Nio delivered 5,074 vehicles in April, a 49% decline quarter-on-quarter.
- Li said he expected consumer demand for electric cars to persist even if the Chinese government reduces subsidies for the sector.
- Nio has made its debut on the Singapore stock exchange, as it laid out plans to open a local research center focused on artificial intelligence and self-driving cars.
- Price Action: NIO shares are trading higher by 7.20% at $17.86 in premarket on the last check Friday.
