Are These The Best EV Stocks To Watch In April 2022?

As the broader stock market advances today, investors could be looking for secular growth stocks to jump on. For today, electric vehicle (EV) stocks could be among the key groups to consider. After all, the U.S. economy remains steadfast in its recovery now. This is arguably evident from the latest monthly payroll which continues to gain towards pre-pandemic levels. Diving in, non-farm payrolls are in at 431,000 while the unemployment rate is down to 3.6%. Regarding the latter, this is better than consensus estimates of 3.7%. As the labor market and economy remain on the upswing, more cyclical industries such as the EV market would thrive.

How would EV firms fit in amidst all this might you ask? Well, for one thing, governments continue to make the push for a transition towards EVs. As of yesterday, President Joe Biden is officially invoking the Defense Production Act. Through this, he is looking to bolster domestic production of minerals used in EV batteries such as nickel and lithium. Meanwhile, with a healthy job market, consumers would likely have more funds to make the transition as well. As such, all this could see EV titans such as Ford (NYSE: F) and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) gain traction as well. To add to this, here are four more top EV stocks to note in the stock market today.
