EV Stocks

These plots are interactive dygraphs that show the different stock prices of some of the largest car brands in the world from 2013 to now. One of the graphs look specifically at Electric Vehicles, while the other shows a few wealthier Non-Electric car companies to see how they react differently over time.

You can see that the EV industry is fairly new, with the exception of Tesla, but Tesla is a dominant market force, especially in the EV industry. We actually see that during the time that the COVID restrictions began to the end of the restrictions nearly all the EV companies saw an increase, but they all seemed to hit somewhat of a peak in this time period during late January 2021. Besides Tesla, post pandemic, most of the EV companies struggled to gain in value very much.

Tesla’s peak was on November 5th,2021 where they recorded a stock price of $407.36. As of March 28th, 2024 Tesla was down to $175.79. The other three EV companies that I looked either are almost exactly the same or down in stock price from November 5th, 2021 and none of them are still even within $100 of Teslas stock price.

Bar Chart Comparing Features from Different Electric Vehicle Brands

This is a side by side bar chart of Audi, BMW, Kia, Nissan, Porsche, Tesla, and Volkswagen. It measures the stats/performance in the following features: Efficiency_WhKm (how much energy is being consumed by distance), FastCharge_KmH (the rate at which the vehicle charges), Range_Km (distance it can travel), TopSpeed_KmH (the maximum speed).

Given the growth in this market, this data is something many would be curious about. As expected,we can clearly see that Tesla (“T”-green) is the leading brand in this market with the highest efficiency, charging rate, range and top speed. While Tesla stands out in comparison to other brands, Audi follows 2nd in the rank.

Question 3

State Map

This map shows a count of laws and incentives for electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and hybrid-electric vehicles. I chose to make this graph because the existing map on the original website showed a total count of all renewable energy incentives, nothing specific to EV laws. We then wanted to compare how legislation could affect the current number of charging stations and registered EVs in each state.

Map of US Showing Electric Vehicle Population per State

This map plot defines the total population of registered electric vehicles in each US state. Included as an electric vehicle is fully Electric Vehicles (EV), Plug-In Hybrid Electrics (PHEV), and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV). The map is based of the color to define the density of the electric vehicles in that state. The lighter the blue gets the more vehicles there are in that state. From this we can see that California has the highest population of registered Electric Vehicles. Whereas a state like North Dakota does not have a high population of registered Electric Vehicles.

Bubble Map in Each US City Showing Charging Stations

Around 79.5% of charging ports in the US are EV Level 2 Chargers, Level 1 Chargers take 2% and DC Chargers take 18.5%. The Level 2 Chargers charge the cars around 25 miles of range per hour. This graph shows a distribution of public Level 2 chargers in the US through bubbles in each US city that contains a Level 2 Charger. The bubbles in each of the cities define the volume of chargers in that city. The size of the bubble is defined by breaks of 0, 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 chargers, meanwhile the color of the bubbles is defined by breaks of 20, 50, 100, 400, 1000, 3000. From this graph you can make the assumption that California holds most of the charging stations in the US.
