Rising crude oil prices and worldwide governmental initiatives to reduce carbon emissions make the prospects bright for electric vehicles (EVs). In fact, Warren Buffet’s optimism about the EV industry’s growth prospects motivated him to add BYD Company (OTC:BYDDY) (BYDDF (OTC:BYDDF)) and General Motors (GM) to his portfolio.

He preaches a long-term investing strategy in which investors buy an undervalued stock and hold it for an extended period to benefit from the company’s gradual growth.
