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 LiveWire Group Inc (NYSE:LVWR) 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.
