Electric vehicle (EV) stocks are on the rise Wednesday for a couple of reasons investors will want to know about.
First off, the ongoing strikes of the United Auto Workers (UAW) are getting more serious. These workers are striking against the “Big Three” automakers: Ford (NYSE:F), General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Stellantis (NYSE:STLA).
As the strikes continue, shares of alternative automotive companies are getting a boost. Adding to this, President Joe Biden recently showed support for the UAW by joining a picket line in Michigan.
Shahar Silbershatz, CEO of business intelligence firm Caliber, told The Intercept the following about how the strikes are affecting the Big Three:
“87 percent of respondents told us they were aware of the strike […] It’s clear the strike is not just causing commercial repercussions, but reputational repercussions as well.”
Adding to this, Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) is celebrating the opening of its first international manufacturing plant. The company is opening this new facility in Saudi Arabia. This also marks the first opening of a car manufacturing facility in the country.
