Since Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) released its Roadster in 2008, the electric vehicle (EV) industry has grown dramatically. But there are three sector names to watch:

Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock is modestly above breakeven today to trade at $10.88, could snap a four-day losing streak. after getting rejected at its 100-day trendline last week.  Despite tacking on 32% since their April 16 record low of $8.26, China-based EV stock still carries a heavy 53.5% year-to-date deficit and was rejected by its 100-day trendline last week. 

General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) hasn't always been synonymous with EVs, but the car manufacturer has been making strides to enter the sector. The company is in the news today after union members voted to ratify a labor agreement which includes a 30% wage increase over three years for several workers. GM is 1.3% higher to trade at $47.37 at last check, and sports a 24.8% year-over-year lead after scoring a June 12, two-year high of $49.34.
