Editor in Chief Statement:
Having an EV Battery Manufacturer is an essential part of the EV industry and a great way to diversify your portfolio. Of the above mentioned, I find MicroVast most appealing. CBAT has been around the longest, and has benefited the most from the recent Chinese EV take off ($NIO, $XPEV & $LI). Romeo Power is an Electric Vehicle Battery Company that can highly benefit from the up-coming UPS contract. As for QuantumScope, their solid state lithium battery might be the way of the future, and if you are going to follow the money, Bill Gates is an investment. EV-News.com has a small position in CBAT & RMG.
In the end I don't think there is a wrong choice.
EV-News.com will begin a position in MicroVast.

I was worried that QuantumScape would do the merger-day plunge, just like other's have done once the ticker changes. This one, however, was massive. I'm up 88% on QS. Since I'm committed to holding long on most of my QS position, I know a time will come when it will bottom out, and then soar again. Still, today was fantastic... lots of sympathy momentum with all the battery companies.
