Chinese electric vehicle (EV) stocks are charging higher on Friday as investors hold out hope for easing Covid-19 restrictions.

China’s economy hasn’t been doing well as the country’s government sticks to its zero-Covid policy. However, recent talk suggests the country may start loosening restrictions in the coming months.

Experts are predicting China could see a full reopening in the first half of 2023. If that comes true, Chinese EV stocks will likely benefit from the economy bouncing back. That prospect has investors excited today.

As a result, several Chinese EV stocks are climbing higher today. Let’s go over that movement below!
