  • EHang’s production is scaling rapidly, supported by major partnerships, facility expansions, and a robust backlog, positioning it ahead of competitors.
  • Despite operational losses, EHang’s strong balance sheet, high growth rate, and justified premium valuation make it a compelling buy for long-term investors.
