Energy Storage Stocks Surge at Midday as Grid Scarcity, Texas Battery Buildout, and Analyst Upgrades Refocus Wall Street

Energy Storage Stocks Surge at Midday as Grid Scarcity, Texas Battery Buildout, and Analyst Upgrades Refocus Wall Street

NEW YORK — December 18, 2025 (12:00 p.m. ET) — Energy storage stocks are firmly in focus on U.S. markets today, with many battery and storage-adjacent names posting strong midday gains as investors weigh three converging themes: improving rate-cut optimism, tightening grid capacity (especially in PJM and Texas), and a fresh wave of deal flow in grid-scale batteries and virtual power plants (VPPs). From residential “solar-plus-storage” installers to grid-scale battery integrators—and even upstream lithium suppliers—the sector is reacting to a news cycle dominated by power demand growth, reliability concerns, and accelerating deployment pipelines.

EV Stocks Today (Dec. 17, 2025): Tesla Slides After Record High, QuantumScape’s Automaker Deal Steals the Spotlight, Ford Signals EV Pullback

Updated: Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025 — 6:00 p.m. ET (U.S. market closed; after-hours trading active) Electric vehicle (EV) stocks ended the Wednesday session with a familiar late‑2025 feel: big headlines, bigger volatility, and a market backdrop that made growth names hard to hold into the close. The broader selloff in tech—driven by renewed anxiety around expensive AI trades—pulled down several EV-linked stocks, especially those that investors increasingly treat as “AI adjacency” plays. AP News+2The Wall Street Journal+2 But beneath the index-level risk‑off mood, the EV tape was anything but quiet: What follows is a detailed, publication-ready breakdown of today’s EV stock action, the

EV Stocks Today (Dec. 17, 2025): Tesla’s California Autopilot Case, Ford’s $6.5B Battery Deal Exit, and Fresh Catalysts for EVgo, QuantumScape, Rivian, and Lucid

NEW YORK — Wednesday, December 17, 2025 — U.S.-listed EV stocks are trading on a mix of regulatory headlines, shifting policy risk, and company-specific catalysts that are widening the gap between winners and laggards. Tesla remains the sector’s main gravity well as investors weigh a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) action tied to “Autopilot” marketing—while also continuing to price in Tesla’s robotaxi ambitions. Meanwhile, Ford’s decision to cancel a multibillion-dollar battery supply agreement adds to the narrative of an industry retrenchment in EV investment, even as charging-network operators and battery-tech names chase cost reductions and new partnerships.

Energy Storage Stocks Today: Tesla, Fluence, Enphase, Sunrun and Albemarle React as AI Data Centers, Policy Deadlines and Lithium Forecasts Collide (Dec. 16, 2025)

Energy Storage Stocks Today: Tesla, Fluence, Enphase, Sunrun and Albemarle React as AI Data Centers, Policy Deadlines and Lithium Forecasts Collide (Dec. 16, 2025)

NEW YORK — Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025 (early afternoon ET). Energy storage stocks are back in the spotlight on the U.S. stock market today, driven by three forces that rarely hit at the same time: (1) a fast-moving surge in electricity demand tied to AI data centers, (2) shifting incentives and supply-chain rules that are reshaping solar-plus-storage and grid batteries, and (3) a new round of lithium demand forecasts that explicitly prioritize energy storage system (ESS) shipments—not just installations. That mix is creating unusually sharp differentiation inside the “energy storage” theme. Some names are moving on customer wins, partnerships and project pipelines; others

Solid-State Batteries: The Game-Changer Powering a New Battery Revolution in 2025

Solid-State Batteries: The Game-Changer Powering a New Battery Revolution in 2025

Solid-state batteries replace the liquid electrolyte with a solid electrolyte, often a ceramic, glass, or solid polymer, and many designs use lithium metal anodes. Prototype solid-state cells have demonstrated energy densities of about 300–450 Wh/kg, with Mercedes-Benz and Factorial reporting roughly 450 Wh/kg. Toyota claims its solid-state EV batteries will charge from 10% to 80% in roughly 10 minutes. Solid-state batteries use non-flammable solid electrolytes, drastically reducing fire risk and leakage compared with liquid electrolytes. Volkswagen reported a solid-state prototype that retained 95% of its capacity after 1,000 charge cycles (about 500,000 km). In 2025, solid-state production costs are around
