Chinese EV stocks are down on Friday after Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) introduced new prices for its electric vehicles (EVs) sold in the country.

The big news here is Tesla cutting the price of its Model Y and Model 3 vehicles in China. This comes after deliveries in the country saw a slump in what was a rough year for the EV market due to economic concerns, such as inflation and a recession.

These price cuts now have Tesla offering its Model Y for about $37,000 and the Model 3 for roughly $32,700. Both of these price tags are immensely cheaper than the starting prices of their U.S. counterparts.

Tesla is a leader in the EV space and if it’s running into trouble, that’s not a good sign for competitors. These latest price cuts will make it harder for rivals in the space to compete without lowering the price of their own EV offerings.

Let’s see how this news is affecting Chinese EV stocks below!
