Volkswagen is not alone. Tesla Inc TSLA is reportedly extending the production halt at its Shanghai factory that began on Monday to till at least Friday. China is a key market for both Volkswagen and Tesla where they compete with local legacy rivals as well as EV startups such as Nio Inc NIO, Xpeng Inc XPEV, and others. Volkswagen delivered 70,625 ID EVs last year in China, below its target to sell between 80,000-100,000 units. The state-induced lockdowns were expected to be lifted on Friday.
