Electric vehicle stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business involves designing, manufacturing, or supplying components, batteries, software, or charging infrastructure for battery-powered electric vehicles. Investors buy these stocks to gain exposure to the EV industry's growth potential and technological shifts, while accepting risks from regulation, commodity prices, supply chains, and often higher volatility than broader market or traditional auto stocks.
