For the last two years, tech stocks have been weighed down by the Steet’s worries about elevated inflation and the Fed’s rate hikes in response to high inflation.

Many investors believe in the clean energy movement. Does this mean they should bet their hard-earned capital on electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID)?

Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:PSNY) is yet another early-stage electric vehicle company whose shares have plummeted. PSNY stock is currently in penny stock territory, changing hands for around $4.25 per share.
