Will NKLA be the best EV stock?

The Fed’s rate hikes and slowing economy maintains the selling pressure, thus $NKLA stock is said to be fundamentally weak stocks that might be avoided for now. But the fact can not be avoided that it may take quite more time for this stock to improve its performance.

The United States added around 517K jobs last month, which is far above the forecast of 185K, as Bloomberg reported. The unemployment rate in January was 3.4%, which is below the 3.6% economists’ forecast. The rising interest rates and a slowing economy have kept auto sales under pressure. 

Due to rising concerns between the United States and China, it could be said that there will be disruption seen in the electric vehicle (EV) stocks. According to a Bloomberg report, “the U.S. keeps saying that it wants to set a “floor” under the relationship with China. Its recent moves against Beijing and new pressure from Congress make achieving that look increasingly unlikely.”

This would increase tariffs or other trade barriers, and make it further expensive for vehicle manufacturers to source components from China.

Additionally, the public and private investment along with robust demand amid global sustainability initiatives boosted the growth of EV market, high EV prices have damaged the sales.

It can be seen that the EV adoption is restricted by inadequate charging infrastructure. As a new report by S&P Global Mobility states, the U.S. needs to quadruple its charging infrastructure by 2025 and grow it more than 8x by 2023.
