We recently published a list of Why These 15 Electric Vehicle Stocks Are Plunging in 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Eve Holding Inc (NYSE:EVEX) stands against other electric vehicle stocks that are plunging in 2025.
The electric vehicle sector surged in popularity during the immediate post-COVID era as investors poured money into what seemed like the future of transportation. Back then, the promise of a green revolution fueled sky-high valuations and bold predictions. But that enthusiasm has since fizzled. Most electric vehicle stocks have plunged significantly and delivered consistent losses to shareholders.
Tesla seems to be the only company capable of selling electric vehicles in the West profitably, but even that company has been under tremendous pressure due to the politicization of its brand.
After Trump’s election, things look even bleaker for these companies and many of them are plunging. That said, many analysts now think that there are buying opportunities here, especially as a large portion of Tesla customers who previously would’ve bought Teslas are now likely to buy alternative EVs. Trump may also be softer than previously thought on EVs, as EV subsidies are still in place. It’s a good idea to take a look at the EV stocks that have been sold off the most so far this year.

The company also projected a cash burn of $200 million to $250 million for 2025, significantly higher than the $141 million burned in 2024.
Plus, Eve reported a drop in its order book from approximately 2,900 units to 2,800 units by the end of Q4 2024. The company reported a net loss of $40.7 million for Q4 2024 and $138.2 million for the full year.
The consensus price target of $6 implies 79.1% upside.
EVEX stock is down 38.97% year-to-date.
Overall, EVEX ranks 7th on our list of electric vehicle stocks that are plunging in 2025.
