SPI Energy Co Ltd (NASDAQ: SPI)-owned pre-production electric vehicle startup EdisonFuture Inc unveiled a solar-powered pickup truck last week at the LA Auto Show.
EV stocks turned in mixed performances for the week ending Nov. 19. EV makers swayed to stock-specific news, while charging stocks pulled back amid profit taking following a strong week of gains.
Here are the key events that happened in the EV space during the week:
Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), which is one of the early backers of EV startup Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN), is shelving its plan to develop an EV with the latter altogether.
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) alone could grab half of the $5-trillion electric vehicle market opportunity in the coming years and leave more than 100 automakers fighting for the rest of the pie, according to Wedbush Securities.
Gainers
Longeveron Inc. (NASDAQ: LGVN) shares climbed 135.3% to close at $6.87 on Thursday. Longeveron said the FDA granted rare pediatric disease designation for the company’s Lomecel-B for the treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Two recent stock events have called into question how markets are pricing stocks. The first event is the OG meme stock, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), hitting a one trillion-dollar market cap.
