There is no doubt that buyers could make tens of millions of {dollars} by investing in electrical automobile shares. Simply ask long-term holders of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). Regardless of heavy ups and downs over time, shares are up by greater than 22,000% since 2010.
In search of the following Tesla? The 2 EV shares beneath are for you.
This EV maker ought to double its gross sales in 2025
Should you’re on the lookout for EV shares with large development potential, begin with Lucid Group (LCID -2.15%). In comparison with the opposite shares on this checklist, Lucid is rising the quickest as we speak, and there is motive to imagine excessive development may very well be achievable for a number of extra years to return.
Final 12 months, Lucid solely had one EV in the marketplace: The Lucid Air. This mannequin got here in a number of variants, however all primarily got here right down to a luxurious electrical sedan priced between $70,000 and $250,000, relying on choices. The Air was a powerful preliminary automobile for Lucid, serving to develop the corporate’s gross sales to almost $1 billion. However the Lucid Air had extreme limitations. Its excessive value priced out a lot of the market, whereas its sedan kind issue deterred anybody on the lookout for one thing roomier, like an SUV.
Earlier this 12 months, Lucid solved half of that problem with the launch of its Gravity SUV platform — primarily doubling its lineup. Analysts anticipate gross sales to develop by 82% this 12 months, and one other 91% subsequent 12 months, because of demand for Lucid’s SUV platform. However with a begin worth of practically $100,000, the Gravity nonetheless prevents Lucid from tapping the mass market. That would all change in 2026, nevertheless, when the corporate expects to launch a number of new autos, all priced underneath $50,000.
There’s a variety of threat to this story. Ramping manufacturing of a number of new fashions over the following 12 to 24 months will put a pressure on Lucid’s already constrained monetary place. In the case of uncooked development potential, Lucid tops the checklist of “subsequent Tesla” candidates. However for balancing development and worth, the following inventory is definitely my favourite proper now.
RIVN PS Ratio information by YCharts. PS = price-to-sales.
My favourite electrical automobile inventory this decade
Regardless of Lucid’s speedy anticipated development charges in 2025, Rivian (RIVN 2.71%) stays my prime electrical automobile inventory this decade. This story is a little more difficult, however should you dig in, it is clear that Rivian shares present an enormous alternative for affected person shareholders.
Like Lucid, Rivian solely has two luxurious fashions in the marketplace, with excessive preliminary worth factors: The R1S and the R1T. However in roughly 12 months, the corporate expects to begin manufacturing on three new reasonably priced autos — the R2, R3, and R3X. By all accounts, Rivian is additional alongside in getting its lower-priced autos to market than Lucid. Plus, the corporate has billions in more money with a present gross sales base greater than 5 occasions that of Lucid. So which firm is extra prone to see its new reasonably priced fashions get to market? I imagine Rivian is best positioned.
Proper now, Rivian’s valuation is way beneath Lucid’s, largely because of lackluster anticipated gross sales development this 12 months. However if you look past the following 12 months, I anticipate these development charges to select up significantly when its new fashions hit the roads. Whereas extra endurance might be required for Rivian, this enterprise has the most effective long-term development potential at an inexpensive valuation as we speak.
