Shares of electric vehicle maker Lucid Group Inc fell by 6.03% in the Tuesday trading session, following comments made by former President Donald Trump regarding plans to eliminate the electric vehicle mandate and revoke support for EVs.
Trump, in his inaugural address, vowed to "end the Green New Deal" and "revoke the electric-vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to our great American auto workers." This statement caused significant declines in the stock prices of several EV companies, including Lucid, Tesla, Nikola, and Rivian.
The potential elimination of the EV mandate and other supportive policies, such as the federal EV-purchase tax credit, could negatively impact the growth and adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S. market. This, in turn, would likely have a detrimental effect on the financial performance and future prospects of EV manufacturers like Lucid Group.
