Shares of EV maker Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) charged higher today, and it might be thanks to two companies more associated with the traditional automotive sector. Lucid shares rose as much as 5.3% and held on to a 2.6% gain as of about 3:30 p.m. ET. 

Lucid shares may be riding on the back of Ford Motor Company today, after that stock crashed yesterday but was recovering today. Yesterday, Ford told investors it expects inflation-related costs to increase by another $1 billion in the third quarter. But perhaps more importantly for Lucid, it also said it would have lower vehicle sales due to a lack of parts. That may have soothed investors in Lucid to know that when the company cut its production volume estimates due to supply chain challenges, it wasn't alone.
