Rivian vs. Lucid: Only 1 of These EV Stocks Survives to 2030. Here's Which One.
Unit volumes tell the story of which EV start-up can survive.
Wall Street's optimism regarding electric vehicle (EV) stocks has waned since their surge in 2020. Two companies, Rivian Automotive and Lucid Group, both of which were initially public during the EV boom and have since faced a more than 90% decline from their peak prices, are facing significant challenges. Despite both attempting to establish premium EV businesses to compete with Tesla, they have been unable to generate profits.
However, considering their respective financial positions, it appears that only one of these companies will persist until 2030. This article will detail the reasons behind this assessment and explore whether either of these EV stocks should be included in a portfolio today.
Lucid Group made its debut with an ultra-premium sedan, the Lucid Air, in 2021, priced between $100,000 and $250,000. This was followed by the release of the Gravity SUV in 2024, also falling within the high-end price bracket. While overall growth has been inconsistent, recent quarters have shown improvement, with deliveries increasing by 19% year-over-year to nearly 4,000 in the second quarter of 2026.
