The 7 Top Electric Vehicle Stocks In India 2022

A controversy stated, "EV stocks soared on hype in 2021 — investors are betting 2022 will bring actual revenue."

In recent years, electric vehicle (EV) stocks have been a hot topic among stock market investors. Numerous experts believe that the automotive industry will transition to electric vehicles sooner rather than later - even governments around the world have subsidized the transition to EVs in various ways.

With this, investors have a strong belief in this space's growth trajectory - but if 2021 served as a warm-up period for the majority of growing companies, will 2022 deliver results for the optimistic stakeholders?

With a number of catalysts, public perception and adoption of electric vehicles appear to have reached a tipping point.

• To begin with, consumers' range anxiety is decreasing as battery technology advances. Ranges of up to 500 kilometers (300 miles) are now more common and comparable to those of combustion engines.
• The continued development of high-speed charging stations means that electric refueling is no longer measured in hours but rather in minutes.
• Governments have also jumped on board, offering generous incentives to consumers who switch from internal combustion engines to electric motors as well as commitments to a more accessible and extensive network of charging stations are also increasing.
