EV Stocks News Today (Dec. 20, 2025): Tesla Delivery Forecasts, Rivian’s AI Pivot, and Policy Shifts Reset the 2026 Outlook

Electric vehicle (EV) stocks are closing out 2025 in a market that looks nothing like the “straight-line adoption” story many investors priced in just a couple of years ago.

Over the past week, a wave of fresh analyst initiations and renewed debate about “AI-bubble” spillover has created a classic push-pull setup for quantum pure plays: long-term believers point to government benchmarking programs, rapid hardware roadmaps, and deep-pocketed cloud partners; skeptics point to eye-watering valuations and the reality
