Summary
2020 has been a massive year for electric vehicles. Tesla and Nio have made new to all time highs, and Nikola Motor helped kick off an epic SPAC boom this summer. While Nikola Tesla’s namesake companies have dominated the headlines, we’ve seen a number of smaller EV companies come public, or announce plans to do so. At the same time, the market has rediscovered some EV-related stocks that had been public for years. Motley Fool Senior Auto Analyst John Rosevear joins the show this week to help shed some light on some of these less well-known EV players.
Stocks Mentioned: XPEV, LI, HCAC.U (Future CNOO), DPHC (Future RIDE), WKHS, NIO, TSLA, GM, VWAPY, SHLL
