Bank of America has named stocks to watch as tech companies enter the electric vehicle race

Whilst Tesla, Nio and XPeng are synonymous with the EV race, there are a number of other companies that investors should have on their watch list as the industry grows. EVs may only account for about 2% of global auto sales today but they could be worth around half by 2040, according to Goldman Sachs estimates.

BofA Head of European Automotive Research Horst Schneider pointed to chipmakers Nvidia, Qualcomm, Infineon, Intel, and STMicroelectronics as companies likely to benefit from the shift to EV. In terms of vehicle manufacturers, Schneider has a buy rating on Daimler and Stellantis.
