A recent report from Experian Automotive shows that US EV registrations are up a staggering 60% year over year, hitting new record highs. Electric vehicles now account for 4.6% of the US auto market, which is the highest level that it has ever been. In the first quarter, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) owned 70% of the US market with all four of its models in the top ten EVs owned, with the Model 3, the Model Y, and the Model S as the top three most registered models.

MULN stock forecast

Tesla saw a nice bounce back from recent weakness as the EV industry leader gained 5.14% during the session. Investors were also reacting to CEO Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) potentially falling through. Other EV stocks on the rise included Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID), Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN), and Ford (NYSE:F). All three major Chinese EV makers rose as Nio (NYSE:NIO), XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) benefited from the recent change in tone from the Chinese government over supporting the growth and development of publicly listed companies.
