Elon Musk And LGES Sound The Alarm As EV Automakers Hit The Brakes, Blame High Interest Rates
Portfolio Pulse from Melanie Schaffer
Elon Musk and LG Energy Solution (LGES) have expressed concerns about the impact of high interest rates on the electric vehicle (EV) market. LGES, a battery supplier to Tesla, warned of slowing EV sales, causing its shares to hit a year-low. Automakers, including Tesla, General Motors, and Ford, are slowing down their EV factory expansion plans due to weaker demand forecasts. However, LGES plans to increase production capacity at its Arizona battery plant to capitalize on tax credits. The USCF ETF Trust USCF Sustainable Battery Metals Strategy Fund (NYSE:ZSB) offers exposure to the EV battery and electrification adoption.
