And it's no secret that Chinese EV stocks were some of the most popular, as the largest automotive market in the world continues to move toward electrification in its transportation sector.<blockquote>电动汽车(EV)制造商的股票在2020年加速上涨。众所周知，中国电动汽车股票是最受欢迎的股票之一，因为这个全球最大的汽车市场继续向交通领域的电气化迈进。</blockquote> EV sales in China surpassed 1 million in 2020, and the government hopes to grow that to 5 million by 2025. It could reach 10 million by 2030, and approach 20 million by 2040, according to research organization BloombergNEF. Two electric automakers looking to capitalize on that expansion are&nbsp;NIO&nbsp;(NYSE:NIO)&nbsp;and&nbsp;XPeng&nbsp;(NYSE:XPEV). Investors may be wondering which is the better buy, particularly after a correction has hit share prices in the sector.<blockquote>2020年，中国电动汽车销量超过100万辆，政府希望到2025年将这一数字增长到500万辆。据研究机构BloombergNEF称，到2030年，这一数字可能达到1000万，到2040年接近2000万。两家希望利用这一扩张的电动汽车制造商是蔚来（纽约证券交易所代码：蔚来）和小鹏（纽约证券交易所代码：XPEV）。投资者可能想知道哪一个更好，尤其是在该行业股价出现调整之后。</blockquote> The right market<blockquote>合适的市场</blockquote> As noted above, the largest automotive market in the world has much potential forEV growth. The problem is, there will be plenty of companies seeking to capitalize.Tesla&nbsp;(NASDAQ:TSLA)&nbsp;built its second manufacturing plant in Shanghai for a reason. And though they're maybe the most well-known Chinese EV makers, NIO and XPeng combined delivered only slightly more than half the 131,000 battery-electric vehicles that&nbsp;BYD&nbsp;(OTC:BYDDY)&nbsp;sold in 2020.<blockquote>如上所述，世界上最大的汽车市场具有巨大的增长潜力。问题是，将会有很多公司寻求资本化。特斯拉（纳斯达克：TSLA）在上海建立第二家制造工厂是有原因的。尽管蔚来和小鹏汽车可能是中国最知名的电动汽车制造商，但它们总共交付了131,000辆纯电动汽车的一半多一点。比亚迪（场外交易代码：比亚迪）2020年售出。</blockquote> NIO reached almost 44,000 vehicles delivered in 2020, while XPeng more than doubled its volume versus 2019 to 27,041. Both companies have recently introduced sedan models that each hopes will be significant drivers of future sales growth.<blockquote>蔚来在2020年交付了近44,000辆汽车，而小鹏汽车的销量比2019年增加了一倍多，达到27,041辆。两家公司最近都推出了轿车车型，都希望这些车型能够成为未来销售增长的重要推动力。</blockquote> XPeng's P7 sports sedan has surpassed a total of 20,000 cumulative deliveries since its launch in early 2020, as it moves ahead of the G3 compact SUV as the company's most popular vehicle. That marked the fastest pace to 20,000 vehicle deliveries of any Chinese EV start-up.<blockquote>自2020年初推出以来，小鹏汽车的P7运动型轿车累计交付量已超过20,000辆，超越G3紧凑型SUV成为该公司最受欢迎的汽车。这标志着中国电动汽车初创企业交付20,000辆汽车的最快速度。</blockquote> NIO introduced its new ET7 luxury sedan earlier this year. The ET7 will be available early next year, and has some intricate features. The sleek exterior includes autonomous driving sensors, a \"crystal-like heartbeat\" tail light, all-glass roof, and a digital entry system that extends the flush handle and automatically releases the door's \"e-latch\" as the driver approaches.<blockquote>蔚来今年早些时候推出了新款ET7豪华轿车。ET7将于明年初上市，具有一些复杂的功能。时尚的外观包括自动驾驶传感器、“水晶般的心跳”尾灯、全玻璃车顶和数字进入系统，该系统可以延伸齐平把手，并在驾驶员靠近时自动释放车门的“电子锁”。</blockquote> Priced for perfection<blockquote>完美定价</blockquote> The strong sales growth along with massive potential for Chinese EVs had investors already piling into these stocks. But after shares of both NIO and XPeng soared last year, the stocks are off January 2021 highs by 27% and 38% respectively, making now a good time to see which may be the better buy.<blockquote>强劲的销售增长以及中国电动汽车的巨大潜力已经让投资者涌入这些股票。但在蔚来和小鹏汽车的股价去年飙升后，这些股票分别较2021年1月的高点下跌了27%和38%，现在是看看哪一个可能更好买入的好时机。</blockquote> Neither company is profitable yet, so one way to measure valuations is using sales rather than earnings. The&nbsp;price-to-sales ratios&nbsp;(P/S) are both very high, but sales are expected to grow quickly, and it's a relevant metric for comparing the two companies.<blockquote>两家公司都尚未盈利，因此衡量估值的一种方法是使用销售额而不是收益。市销率（P/S）都非常高，但销售额预计将快速增长，这是比较两家公司的相关指标。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf721bd77e4fa0e2530b3d2f86034920\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"483\">NIO MARKET CAP DATA BY YCHARTS<blockquote>YCHARTS提供的蔚来市值数据</blockquote> Though NIO has the higher market cap, it is less expensive than XPeng as measured by the P/S ratio. NIO also has a unique approach to the market with its battery swap program, which allows customers to \"recharge\" via a faster battery exchange. The company says its automated battery swap stations take only three minutes to produce a fully charged battery replacement.<blockquote>尽管蔚来的市值较高，但以市盈率衡量，它的成本低于小鹏汽车。蔚来还通过其电池更换计划对市场采取了独特的方法，允许客户通过更快的电池更换来“充电”。该公司表示，其自动电池交换站只需三分钟即可更换充满电的电池。</blockquote> Looking ahead<blockquote>展望未来</blockquote> NIO's push into the luxury sedan segment with its ET7 could help advance the company to the next level. Gross margins, gross profit, and operating cash flow went positive in 2020, indicating the path to profitability is in sight.<blockquote>蔚来凭借ET7进军豪华轿车领域可能有助于将该公司推向一个新的水平。2020年毛利率、毛利润和经营现金流均为正，表明盈利之路在望。</blockquote> Both companies look to be adequately capitalized to fund planned growth efforts. As of Dec. 31, 2020, NIO had $6.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investment on its balance sheet, and XPeng had about $5.4 billion. The companies could raise more money by&nbsp;listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which is reportedly being considered by both.<blockquote>两家公司都希望有足够的资本来资助计划的增长工作。截至2020年12月31日，蔚来资产负债表上的现金和现金等价物、限制性现金和短期投资为65亿美元，小鹏汽车约为54亿美元。两家公司可以通过在香港联交所上市来筹集更多资金，据报道，两家公司都在考虑上市。</blockquote> For investors looking to pick just one holding to participate in Chinese EV growth, NIO appears to be the better option of these two companies. Any investment still belongs in the speculative portion of a portfolio, with the potential for much volatility. But for those who can stomach that, and have an appropriate portion invested, the recent drop in shares helps make NIO a better buy than XPeng right now.<blockquote>对于只想选择一家公司来参与中国电动汽车增长的投资者来说，蔚来似乎是这两家公司中更好的选择。任何投资仍然属于投资组合的投机部分，有可能出现很大的波动。但对于那些能够承受这一点并进行适当投资的人来说，最近股价的下跌使蔚来目前比小鹏汽车更值得买入。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Better Buy: NIO vs. XPeng Motors<blockquote>更值得购买：蔚来与小鹏汽车</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBetter Buy: NIO vs. XPeng Motors<blockquote>更值得购买：蔚来与小鹏汽车</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nMotley Fool2021-03-15 09:22\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nThe Chinese electric-vehicle makers both have rich valuations, even after a downturn in share prices.<blockquote>即使在股价低迷之后，这两家中国电动汽车制造商的估值也很高。</blockquote> Stocks of electric-vehicle (EV) makers accelerated in 2020.
