RIVN, LCID or MULN: Which EV Stock Will Crash First?
The electric vehicle industry is in turmoil. On the one hand, EV sales are booming with volumes expected to rise 21% this year. Still, the rate of growth is declining. Fewer new car buyers are electing to choose EVs when purchasing a vehicle. Pricing is certainly still an issue facing EV stocks but it is really a lack of trust in EVs themselves that is hurting sales. Not for safety reasons but rather it is a lack of charging infrastructure. Because battery range is still a concern, consumers are choosing the reliability and availability of gas-powered vehicles. It is why hybrid EV sales are taking off. Toyota (NYSE: TM ) saw massive growth in its hybrid cars ; it sold some 3.4 million last year, and now other manufacturers, notably Ford (NYSE: F ) and General Motors (NYSE: GM ) are hedging their all-in bets on battery electric vehicles. They are scaling back full-electric production and bringing forward more hybrid cars. That poses a problem for a number of EV manufacturers who only came to market relatively recently and are trying to gain traction.
