Should Investors Be Watching These Top EV Stocks This Month?

While investors weigh out their options amidst conflicting information on the reopening trade, electric vehicle (EV) stocks remain relevant. After all, in times of uncertainty, investors would be looking towards long-term growth players in the stock market. In turn, some would argue that the EV industry fits this category now. This would be the case as EVs continue to gain market share against their combustion engine-based counterparts. By and large, the global green wave has and continues to fuel this trend moving forward. Given all of this, would it be a good time for investors to jump on the EV train now?

If anything, President Joe Biden appears more than just keen on transitioning the U.S. towards EVs. Back in May, the President said, “The future of the auto industry is electric. There’s no turning back.” Putting action to his words, the White House’s current infrastructure bill will see $174 billion heading towards the industry. For starters, this would see pure-play EV players like Lucid Motors (NYSE: CCIV) continue to gain traction in the stock market. Moreover, EV battery stocks such as QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE: QS) would also stand to benefit.

Aside from the current tailwinds, both companies are also hard at work bolstering their services now. On one hand, Lucid Motors is planning to start delivering its luxury EVs this year. On the other hand, QuantumScape entered into an agreement with Volkswagen Group of America earlier this year to select the location of their joint-venture solid-state battery pilot-line facility. The facility will initially be a 1-gigawatt hour battery cell commercial production plant. With no shortage of EV developments, it would make sense that EV stocks are on investors’ radars now. Could one of these EV stocks be top picks in the stock market today?

Another major player in the current global EV race would be legacy automaker Ford. Like most legacy automobile giants today, the company continues to pivot towards EVs. In fact, it is looking to fully electrify its vehicle portfolio by 2025 using investments of over $30 billion. This would see fully electric versions of its Ford trucks, utility vehicles, and Lincoln brand luxury vehicles among others emerging over the next few years. To Ford’s benefit, its brands are already well-known among U.S. consumers. Ideally, this could appeal to customers looking to upgrade their current Ford automobiles to more environmentally friendly alternatives.

According to Ford, this move could help it capture over $1 billion in revenue by 2030 via charging services alone. Moreover, the company’s Lincoln brand is expecting half of its sales to be EVs by 2026. Overall, it seems that Ford is aggressively working on building its reputation in the EV space.
