The best EV stock to buy or view
The charts for most EV stocks remain under pressure. Widely established automakers and start-ups are speculative betting on the growth of electric vehicles, which are seen as an emerging field. Growth stocks were affected by inflation and the risk of a recession and slowdown in China.

Delivery of the long-awaited Cybertruck is scheduled for later this year. It’s also planning a Semi and Roadster, whose launch dates have been pushed back.
Tesla expects to increase deliveries by 50% annually. In 2022, auto sales jumped 40%, year-over-year, to 1.31 million. Production increased 47% to 1.37 million.

The company’s automotive and industrial segment is driving strong growth. In particular, Lattice is seeing high demand for specialized low-power FPGAs in electric vehicles.
FPGAs, or Field Programmable Gate Arrays, are semiconductor devices that play a major role in the latest automotive designs. They are used in car cameras and infotainment systems, for example.
Since electric cars are battery powered, lower power consumption is an important factor. This makes low-power FPGAs like those from Lattice well suited to the task, the company says.
