The only thing worth noting today is the heavy trading of ZEV stock. As of this writing, more than 2 million shares of the stock have changed hands. That’s worth pointing out as the company’s daily average trading volume is closer to 668,000 shares.

So we’ve got no news and heavy trading of ZEV stock. Factor in the company’s penny stock status and it’s a perfect recipe for a pump and dump. Maybe. It could also be that positive news for other EV companies is causing ZEV stock to move in sympathy with them.

Either way, investors will want to be careful about taking a stake in ZEV stock today. It could be that shares fall in the following days as the current momentum comes to an end.

With that in mind, here are some basics that potential traders of ZEV stock need to know about the company.

  • Lightning eMotors is an EV company focused on fleet medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
  • That includes “delivery trucks, shuttle buses, passenger vans, chassis-cab models, and city transit buses.”
