RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:State of EV's in ChinaThanks for you kind words...
In terms of your question, as a financial advidor ,I was in the business of making specific recommendation. When I retired many years ago, I decided that i was no longer in that business anymore and as such would refrain from specifc recommendations. I don't even make specific recommendations to my friends anymore...lol.
That said, what I can tell you is that I do not have any investments in EV companies. I have owned TSLA stock for short term swings in the past but don't own any stock right now. The reasons for this I have stated in previous posts and are sure that you have read the reasons.
In terms of investments I would recommend taking a look at companies that produce electricity but in doing so recognize that not all of them are equal and so a careful look at their Q reports is needed. I did up until about a year or so ago owned companies that were primarily in the renewable energy business but sold them as they became IMO overvalued. In the intervening time many of them have seen their SPs go down a lot and are approaching fair value and if they go down more I will buy back in. I would look for elecrricity companies that in addition to having Canadian operations, are also in other countries such as the US and geographically in higher growth areas like the southern US.
There are also a number of companies both private and public working on what is called dispatchable energy or in simple terms, the production of electricity for businesses which are off grid which provide those business with lower peak electricty rates and security of supply in the event of a grid failure. I see this security of supply issue becoming more important over the next decade as there will be greater demands on the grid and what appears to be a higher frequency of major storms and adverse weather. Similarly there are companies that are also in the storage of electricity which, although more expensive provide some of the same benefits and in this case you need to be more selective and careful. There are also companies that are developing technologies produce elecricity from landfills and agricultural waste including biofuels that were worth exploring.
Frankly, my advice would be to start with finding one or electricity generating companies to start with. My reasoning for this is quite simple. One is that as there are more EVs obviously there will greater demand for their electricity. Second, in the early stages of EV adoption people will likely recharge their EV batteries at night and these companies can supply a lot of electricity without having to make capital investments since they already have the capacity to meet daytime peak usage. The other aspect to this is that since these companies are capital intensive and have associated debt, their SPs have fallen with the higher interest rates and so they are worth looking at.
I know this isn't as much as you would have liked but I hope it helps a bit and that you understand my reluctance to be more specific.
