Investors who chose to get on board with MicroVision (NASDAQ:MVIS) stock now would be making an unwise decision.

Over recent articles at InvestorPlace, I mentioned that the narrative for electric vehicles isn’t exactly as clear cut as previously thought. Though EVs may be the future, they’re still awfully expensive. As well, lack of infrastructure is a major challenge.
