Buy These Stocks to Profit From EV Growth

invest in ev growth

Electric vehicle (EV) adoption is reaching a whole new level.

Recent sales numbers have been insane.

There were 4.3 million EVs sold during the first three quarters of 2021.

That dwarfs the 3.1 million sold in all of 2020.

And that’s just the beginning.

Total sales for 2021 should come in at 6.1 million. That’s nearly double last year’s number.

And this rapid growth comes as overall auto sales are declining.

New car sales through September were down 11% from the previous five-year average.

The obvious way to play this trend is to buy automakers that produce EVs.

But the market already drove up automakers. So, by buying them now, you’re a bit late.

Instead, here’s what you should be buying to profit from EV growth…

The Key to Tech Mega Trends

A recent CarMax survey found that 56% of people are likely to purchase an EV as their next vehicle.

We’re firm believers that EVs will account for over half of vehicle sales by 2030.

At only 7% share of new vehicle sales now, there’s a ton of growth ahead.

Lithium-ion batteries are in virtually all EVs. They account for 30% of an EV’s total cost.

So, as EV adoption enters full swing, lithium will see huge demand.

And it’s not just EVs that need lithium.

There’s another major use case that makes lithium stocks even more compelling.

Small and utility-scale battery storage depends on lithium.

It’s the key to storing renewable energy from sources like solar and wind.

And power from renewable energy will increase six times by 2035.

BloombergNEF estimates that battery storage capacity will increase by 2,950% during the same time frame.

We’re Bullish on Lithium Stocks

Lithium’s soaring price reflects this massive demand.

The price of lithium has more than tripled in just the past year.

Ian King and I recognized early that lithium is the key to mega trends like renewable energy and EVs.

So, in May, we recommended that his New Era Fortunes subscribers buy lithium-producer Livent Corp. (NYSE: LTHM).

Those that followed would be sitting on 70% gains in just six months.

But it’s not just Livent that we’re bullish on.

Ian recommended another lithium stock to his subscribers that’s currently trending higher.
