Looking for a Chinese Electric Vehicle Stock? Just Ask Warren Buffett

Can you name the electric vehicle (EV) maker that was in the top 10 stocks by market value owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) at the end of 2020? It might help to also know that the Berkshire investment has gone up 25 times in value as of Dec. 31, 2020, since the company initiated the investment in 2008.
