Despite a string of setbacks and increasing competition, the Baidu- and Tencent-backed electric-vehicle maker WM Motor Holdings has raised more than $300 million in new funding in a sign of continuing investor interest in the company.
Two Hong Kong-listed companies led WM Motor's recent Series D1 funding round, including PCCW -- backed by a son of local tycoon Li Ka-shing -- and shipping and property company Shun Tak Holdings.
