|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2018 | Series B | Gezhi Asset Management (lead) | $350M | $3.4B | Youxia Motors, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer founded in 2014, completed a $350 million Series B+ funding round on August 22, 2018, solely led by Gezhi Asset Management (also referred to as Gezhi Capital), which became the company's second largest shareholder. This round brought total funding across Series A, B, and B+ to over $1.25 billion, enabling the company's market value to reach $3.35 billion. Gezhi's CEO, Qin Yifei, joined as global co-chairman and co-founder, overseeing financing, global investment, M&A, battery charging networks, supply chain finance, and preparations for a Series C round and future IPO. The funding supports Youxia's expansion, including its first super factory in Huzhou, Zhejiang, with 200,000 units annual capacity, expected to complete construction by May 2019 for mass production of the Youxia X model. Preorder registrations exceeded 11,000 units, with initial sales networks planned for 10 first-tier Chinese cities. The company also launched a European R&D center to develop high-performance models for the World Endurance Championship (WEC). Youxia faced challenges post-2018, including delays in factory construction—the Huzhou plant closed in 2019—and financial distress by 2022, when chairman Wei Jun's 90% stake worth CNY45 million (about $7.1 million USD) was frozen until 2025, raising bankruptcy risks. Total funding across all rounds reached approximately $1.3 billion, with investors including Qianhai Wuton, China Environmental Protection Industry, and others. |
