Whoever thinks EV adoption is a straight line is wrong. The trend is up; many peaks and troughs of growth to come.
The key data point to look at is, how many EV owners in the market for a new vehicle are looking at ICE.

I did the same, got some under 80 to put away and write covered calls on. Good luck to us all
I'd also like to see how many EV owners would be willing to own only EVs in their garage.

Oct 31 (Reuters) - Caterpillar (CAT.N) reported a double-digit rise in profit on Tuesday, beating Wall Street estimates on solid construction equipment sales in North America, but its shares slid in early trading on signs of slowing machinery demand.
The Texas-based manufacturer's shares fell as much as 6.3% as dealer inventories rose for the third-consecutive quarter at the same time Caterpillar's order backlog shrunk, indicating that equipment demand may have peaked.

A simple and transparent way management can determine when it is an opportunistic time to commence a share buyback is simply by looking at the stock price's current % deviation from its 200-day moving average. Enphase's share repurchase will prove to be very accretive. Additionally, following a 200 DMA (or 50 DMA in my case) has shown to be a prudent method of portfolio management.
There is an extraordinary story to be told when you purchase shares with free cash flow and a growing financial outlook. When you don't, you end up like RAYTHEON. A blistering $20B+ in share repurchases over the last 10 years with near no share price appreciation and staggeringly flat financials.

The poison pill is a tactic public companies sometimes use to deter a hostile takeover.
I'll just throw this out for discussion. What if a group makes a half decent offer to take this company private ?
Not just LICY but any of the other's that are hitting bottom.
I ask because a company Tonix Pharmaceuticals (TNXP) bought a large tract of land near my place a few years back with big plans to build a plant. Cashed in a lot of credits, grants, etc. Last year they finally put in a double wide office trailer but it has sat vacant for almost 18 months. No activity on the property.
See also GM, Boeing, etc.
What's impressive is that RTX is trading at a PE of about 38x, so knock that down to a reasonable PE in a 5% annual ROR and it looks even shittier. Pretty sad for a company that sucks on the government teat.
The fact that LiCY has adopted a psn pill makes me believe they have secured financing or some other arrangement. (or that their cash runway is still significantly long). I am fine if someone wants to come purchase them, I am sure the offer will have to be north of $1B.I'll just throw this out for discussion.

ENPH sold off after hours on terrible SolarEdge's earnings... these are not the same. Enphase increased gross margins from 46% to 48% in Q3. SolarEdge decreased from 32% to 20%.
There are a lot of nervous investors and fund managers out there.
Not one of them has a crystal ball or is willing to put their money where their mouth is.

These three have been swimming up stream for the past 6 months. It's the "trend".
Yeah it was painful at the time but I bought more after hours yesterday.
Meanwhile at GM, we're learning that Mary Berra and Mark Reuss should be asked to clean out their desks and start preparing for the shareholder lawsuits:
Those two get paid $45 million/year for this sort of shitty decision-making. I could do a similarly poor job for half as much and the headlines would be far more amusing.
Time’s running out for GM to get its EVs right — and billions of dollars are on the line
Delaying production of high-profile EVs and dropping a development program with Honda may be an acknowledgment of the problems. It's not a solution.

Uhhh... initial thought is that this going to quickly ruin the battery lol. The 145-mile range battery will be drained to zero then a generator will kick on to charge the battery while also discharging through the battery to power the vehicle. Who would buy this over a hybrid? Guarantee that this will be significantly more expensive than hybrids currently on the market.
It's more likely to send power directly to the motors and only sending excess to charge battery.
Perhaps rent one for a few days before buying.

This thing is most certainly a PHEV - a series hybrid, to be exact. It's the sort of thing that sounded good 20-25 years ago, before Toyota demonstrated the superiority of the "power split" architecture that was later pretty much perfected by GM in the form of the Two Mode hybrid powertrain for pickups and large SUVs, and the Voltec powertrain in the Volt which could function as a series or parallel hybrid depending upon conditions. This shit worked really well, but didn't fit the narrative of eliminating liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
It makes way more sense to drain the battery on a daily basis than it does to carry around excessive pack capacity that's only accessed on occasion; the techniques for managing pack life under such conditions are fairly well understood nowadays (if you doubt this to be the case, then don't hold out much hope for something like the Tesla Semi). On a related note, Toyota and GM went back and forth on battery sizing and daily depth-of-discharge for about a decade. Toyota favored something with a range of around 10 miles so that the pack would be completely discharged by the majority of commuters; GM preferred a pack with 40ish miles range to capture the driving distance of most commuters. Judging by the spec of the latest Prius Prime PHEV, GM won that argument.
I do not believe there is a single manufacturer of an electric vehicle that recommends you deplete your battery to 0%. Most suggest maintaining a state of charge of no less than 10%-20%. Maybe they are using a different battery chemistry for this purpose or their "0%" is not a true 0%.
“There’s no connection between the engine and the wheels,” he said. “The gas generator is only there to charge the battery.”
Exactly - and even Stellantis is not going to let that pack go completely dead before firing up the ICE generator, even if that's how someone wants to interpret what their CEO said.
That means there is no transmission. Even my house inverter can take solar and/or generator power and feed it directly to the house without having to first pass it through the battery. You said you think it would be hard on the battery to flow "through" it.. I'm pretty sure that's not how it's going to actually work.

In the Ramcharger’s case, the system combines a 92-kilowatt-hour battery pack with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 that acts as a 130-kilowatt generator. Power is sent to 250-kW (335-hp) front and 238-kW (319-hp) rear electric drive modules. Ram engineers took great pains to explain that, unlike the now-dead Chevy Volt, the gas generator in the 1500 Ramcharger is not connected to any of the driven wheels.
I ran a very large woodyard for the paper industry - we had multiple giant "front end loaders" that unloaded log trucks (25 tons per bite) and then loaded the wood chipping systems. These giant vehicles had electric motors at each wheel (4 total) and these four large electric motors plus the rest of the hydraulics were driven by a diesel generator. An ICE powered electric vehicle - old technology, this was 50 -60 years old.
