⚡ Envirotech Vehicles stock jumps 442% on AZIO AI $107 million order as traders eye Jan. 20 vote

Shares of Envirotech Vehicles jumped 442% Monday, closing at $2.51 after swinging between $1.01 and $2.62 amid a volume surge to roughly 761 million shares.

The stock continued trading after hours, hitting $3.16, near a $3 reference price tied to a proposed transaction.

The move stands out because Envirotech Vehicles is a microcap company, and the headline driving the rally had little to do with vans or buses.
