Electric vehicle (EV) maker Lion Electric Company (TSX:LEV, NYSE: LEV) posted a triple-digit surge in its top line for the first quarter of 2021, following a successful merger with a blank check company Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp.


Following its SPAC merger, the price of this EV stock has swelled nearly 26 per cent week-to-date (WTD).  

Lion Electric is also investing US$ 400 million to boost its operations, including its US-based manufacturing site and building the next generation battery system in Québec, Canada.

As of March 31, the company held a debt of nearly US$ 12 million, which included a loan against future vehicle subsidies.

Let us look at this EV stock’s price trajectory and financials:

Lion Electric Company (TSX:LEV/ NYSE: LEV)

The Montreal-based company manufactures zero-emission vehicles such as buses and trucks through its latest tech-driven batteries. It also assembles all its vehicles' modules, such as battery units, truck cabins, auto bodies, etc.

In the first quarter of 2021, the company delivered 24 vehicles, a massive rise from just two EVs delivered a year ago.

The company registered total revenue of US$ 6.2 million in Q1 2021, an increase of US$ 5.0 million compared to US$1.2 million in Q1 2020. However, it reported a net loss of US$ 1.8 million, up nearly 64 per cent year-over-year. The loss is mainly due to the addition of new workforce and production resource to accelerate EV volumes.

The company has entered the American EV market and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange after combining with SPAC Northern Genesis Acquisition.
