Chinese EV maker Zeekr has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in the US as part of plans to take the brand global as a rival to Tesla.

Zeekr filed draft registration paperwork for an IPO with US regulators on 7 December.

Citing sources with knowledge of the IPO filing, Reuters reported Zeekr is seeking a valuation of more than $10bn (£8.14bn); to raise more than $1 billion (£814 million). A listing could come as early as the second quarter of 2023, it said.

The move to list in New York comes after Zeekr confirmed it had submitted an IPO proposal to the Hong Kong stock exchange.
