Atlis Motor Vehicles (NASDAQ:AMV) is a newcomer in the electric vehicle sector. However, it is taking the stock market by storm after two consecutive days of gains.

It rose again by 186% in the premarket on Wednesday. It remains to be seen how Atlis will craft a name in an industry dominated by giants like Tesla.
Atlis operates in the e-mobility ecosystem. The company currently makes EV batteries and the EV work truck. The EV maker’s flagship AMV XT comes at a 500-mile range and has a drive-by-wire system. Atlis says it is the first EV to offer e-mobility solutions for small to medium-duty EV trucks at low prices. The company also draws popularity from diesel-powered trucking enhancements for an EV truck.

Recession fears and cost pressures are also weighing on the stock market. Like other stocks, Atlis could be just enjoying the moment as most debuts are usually characterised by high volatility.
