Followers of the electric vehicle (EV) sector likely always believed that there would be some big winners and many big losers. A new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing yesterday has put speculative names back into focus today, with investors selling shares. The stocks of QuantumScape (NYSE: QS) , Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ: RIDE) , and Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ: FFIE) are all dropping today after an SEC filing from Faraday Future. As of 1:45 p.m. ET, these EV stocks were lower as follows:
