So they\u2019ve increasingly been listing on global stock markets via initial public offerings (IPOs), and investors have been keen to get in on the action. Just look at Rivian: the electric truckmaker&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.finimize.com\/wp\/news\/off-season\/\">raised<\/a>&nbsp;nearly $12 billion in the biggest IPO of the year earlier this month, and its shares are already 47% above their initial listing price. And since other EV companies are set to follow in its auspicious tire tracks, Bank of America\u2019s made a bold prediction: it reckons the industry could raise a total of $100 billion from IPOs by 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-should-i-care\">Why should I care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>For markets:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>This is getting silly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors have pushed EV valuations to all-time highs, with industry leader Tesla alone having seen its stock price climb nearly 1,600% in the last two years. But Research Affiliates has warned that this might be a sign of so-called \u201cmarket delusion\u201d, where valuations in a hot industry all rise in sync even though the rival companies can\u2019t possibly all be winners. And when that fever breaks, you\u2019d better hope you\u2019re holding the right stock\u2026<br><br><strong><em>The bigger picture:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>The US revs its engine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Someone<\/em>&nbsp;needs to power all those EVs, which is why battery-makers are taking steps to keep up too: the top 10 in the world are expected to nearly triple their combined manufacturing capacity by 2022, according to Bloomberg. All of those are headquartered in Asia, with China alone making 80% of the world\u2019s batteries. But the US is trying to change that: it passed a bill last week that\u2019ll provide $6 billion in grants to battery-makers and their materials producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
