Six rising EV stocks to watch as industry navigates energy transition

Electric vehicle stocks are companies that manufacture and sell EVs, including cars, trucks, and SUVs. These companies also provide parts, batteries, and services like charging stations required for electric vehicles.

As governments worldwide are committed to reducing vehicular emissions, they have begun to develop policies to promote renewable energy products, including vehicles. Thus, many auto companies have begun to shift to EVs.

As a result, many new companies have entered the market. The global EV market is likely to grow rapidly in the near future.
