The electric vehicle ( EV ) market has grown rapidly over the past few years, despite the impact of sticky inflation, elevated interest rates, tariffs, and other macroeconomic headwinds that have rattled the global economy.

To capitalize on that secular trend, investors should add a few promising EV plays to their portfolios. Here are two EV stocks that deserve a chance: Nio ( NIO +1.85% ) and QuantumScape ( QS +0.04% ) .
