Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th president of the U.S., and the future of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">the electric vehicle (EV) industry</a> is uncertain. 
Here's a look at how the president-elect&#8217;s policy changes could affect<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41755274/trump-win-could-hinder-tech-ev-sector-growth-slow-the-pace-of-ai-revolution-analyst"> EV makers in the US. </a>
Trump's EV Views: Trump, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41562048/leonardo-dicaprio-backs-harris-says-trump-continues-to-deny-the-facts-on-climate">has denied climate change</a>, as largely condemned EVs. He claims they will cost autoworkers' jobs as factories make the shift to electric vehicles. He has also said EVs are<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854007/trump-says-he-will-end-the-electric-vehicle-mandate-on-day-one-days-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-endor"> being forced </a>on consumers through unfair regulations. 
"I will end the electric vehicle mandate on day one, thereby saving the auto industry from complete obliteration which is happening right now and saving US customers thousands and thousands of dollars per car," Trump said in a speech at the Republican National Convention in July.&nbsp;

Trump has also said he plans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854007/trump-says-he-will-end-the-electric-vehicle-mandate-on-day-one-days-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-endor">to eliminate</a> many vehicle emissions standards under the Environmental Protection Agency as well as many EV incentives included in the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Analysts Weigh In: Wedbush analysts, including Dan Ives, see <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41755274/trump-win-could-hinder-tech-ev-sector-growth-slow-the-pace-of-ai-revolution-analyst">trouble ahead</a> for the EV industry.&nbsp;
&#8220;We believe a Trump presidency would be an overall negative for the EV industry as likely the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled, however for Tesla we see this as a potential positive with some caveats,&#8221; the Wedbush analysts wrote.&nbsp;
The analysts pointed to Tesla, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) profitability, along with the company's size and scale, as advantages over its competitors who may struggle after losing rebates and tax incentives. Wedbush also sees Tesla benefiting from higher import fees on Chinese EVs under a Trump administration. 
&#8220;Higher China tariffs that would continue to push away cheaper EV players (BYD, Nio, etc.) from flooding the US market over the coming years,&#8221; Wedbush wrote.&nbsp;
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who campaigned heavily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41766808/mark-cuban-congratulates-trump-musk-before-the-election-is-called-says-they-won-fair-and-square">for the GOP leader</a>, acknowledged that a Trump presidency would likely mean the end of EV subsidies and tax credits during Tesla's second-quarter earnings call. 
The impact would be slight for Tesla and devastating for its competitors, Musk said.
"But long term probably actually helps Tesla, would be my guess, yes," Musk said.&nbsp;
The Big 3: Legacy automakers, General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) are struggling as they transition from traditional combustion engines to EVs. 
The Big 3 automakers have recently announced they will delay investments and other plans related to the production of EVs amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737069/ford-ev-sales-drop-over-8-in-october-as-demand-for-f-150-lightning-slows-down">waning demand </a>from consumers. 
What's Next: It remains to be seen what measures will be repealed under a Trump administration and how each automaker will be affected. However, investors seem to agree with Tesla analysts that Trump's second term is a positive catalyst for the EV giant. Tesla shares are soaring 12.8% higher at $283.49 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

For Kevin O&#8217;Leary, the business world is black and white: you either succeed or fail. "Business is binary. There are winners and losers. You either make money or you don't," he says.

&mdash; Kevin O&#39;Leary aka Mr. Wonderful (@kevinolearytv) <a href="https://twitter.com/kevinolearytv/status/1853432280565330223?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 4, 2024</a></blockquote>

O&#8217;Leary, famously known as &#8220;Mr. Wonderful&#8221; on Shark Tank, loves sharing his formula for success, especially with young entrepreneurs. His advice is direct: if you&#8217;re in your 20s and trying to build a business, forget about having a work-life balance. The competition is just too intense.

&#8220;You're competing with people in Mumbai or Shanghai who are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41231722/kevin-oleary-says-theres-no-worklife-balance-for-new-entrepreneurs-as-guys-in-mumbai-or-shanghai-wor">willing to work 24 hours a day</a>, eight days a week,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary once said. In his view, you&#8217;re at risk of being left behind unless you&#8217;re ready to put in those kinds of hours. He even goes so far as to say that to be successful, you need to work relentlessly or as he puts it, &#8220;25 hours a day.&#8221;&nbsp;
Working around the clock sounds extreme to most people, but O&#8217;Leary knows the importance of laying a strong foundation in the early stages of your career. When you're young, you have the time and energy to make sacrifices because &#8220;In your 20s, you can afford the time, the focus and all the stress that comes with building something from the ground up. You should start thinking about taking some time off only after establishing that foundation.&#8221;

O&#8217;Leary knows firsthand how frustrating it can be to slow down. After selling The Learning Company, he was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/40776473/it-was-boring-kevin-oleary-explored-every-beach-on-earth-after-he-first-got-rich-but-the-highs-and-l?utm_campaign=partner_feed&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=partner_feed&amp;utm_content=site&amp;nid=41231722">tied up in a noncompete agreement</a> that kept him out of the software industry for three years. What many might see as a well-earned break was stifling for O&#8217;Leary, who said he felt &#8220;stale&#8221; without the ability to work. He quickly understood that his feeling of purpose depended on his ability to continue building businesses.
This relentless pursuit of success is also reflected in his approach to investing. O&#8217;Leary has one rule regarding money: always invest in information. &#8220;If you make decisions without relevant information, I guarantee you, you will lose money 100% of the time,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;

For O&#8217;Leary, the lesson is straightforward: Sacrifice is necessary for success. To succeed as an entrepreneur, you must be prepared to work harder and longer hours than your competitors, stay informed and persevere.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have $14,000 Today

Shares of SolarEdge Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) dropped 20% to $15.06 during Wednesday&#8217;s session. Several solar stocks are trading lower following Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41774549/trumps-big-tech-policies-what-gop-victory-means-for-apple-google-microsoft">presidential election victory</a>.
The Republican Party's gains across the House and Senate signal a potential shift away from the green energy policies that have bolstered SolarEdge's business model. 
Trump's campaign commitments included reducing federal support for renewables and easing regulations on fossil fuel industries, which poses a threat to SolarEdge's growth trajectory and the broader renewable energy sector.
What To Know: Trump's proposed energy agenda includes plans to phase out green energy tax incentives, such as the Federal Investment Tax Credit (FITC), which currently provides a 30% tax credit for solar installations.
Concerns could mount among investors that if Trump repeals or scales back this incentive, it could impact demand for solar installations in the U.S., especially in states that lack their own substantial renewable energy subsidies.
SolarEdge, a leading provider of solar inverters and energy management solutions, relies heavily on the continued expansion of solar power adoption. 
With the possible withdrawal of federal tax benefits, SolarEdge could face serious headwinds, as potential customers may be deterred by higher upfront costs in the absence of tax relief, which could stall the company's momentum in a key market.

Impact of Potential Tariffs and Trade Policies: Additionally, Trump's stance on tariffs poses a potential risk to SolarEdge's supply chain. Trump has floated the idea of a universal 10% tariff on all imports, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">possible 60% tariff</a> on Chinese goods could have direct repercussions.
SolarEdge sources some of its key components from international suppliers, particularly in Asia. If such tariffs were enacted, the costs of inverters and other equipment could rise sharply, squeezing the company's margins or forcing it to pass on these costs to consumers, further challenging its competitive positioning in the U.S. market.
What Else: Trump&#8217;s previous administration took a deregulatory approach toward environmental policy, rolling back numerous climate and emissions regulations. Given Trump's preference for traditional energy sectors, SolarEdge could see a policy landscape less supportive of renewable energy initiatives and one more favorable to fossil fuels. 
Without strong Federal backing, the solar industry may struggle to maintain its current growth, potentially impacting SolarEdge's revenue from its U.S. operations, which constitute a significant portion of its business.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Should I Sell My SEDG Stock?</h2>
When deciding to hold on to or sell a stock, investors should consider their time horizon, unrealized gains and total return.
Shares of SolarEdge Technologies have decreased by 78.4% in the past year. An investor who bought shares of SolarEdge Technologies at the beginning of the year would take a loss of $76.39 per share if they sold it today. The stock has fallen 17.51% over the past month, meaning an investor who bought shares on Oct. 1 would see a capital loss of $6.33.
