Norges Bank, the central bank of Norway and the sponsor of the world's biggest sovereign wealth fund (the Norwegian Oil Fund), has substantially changed its allocation toward electric vehicle stocks in the first quarter.

Norges' Big EV Portfolio Changes: Norges Bank sold its entire stake in Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN) in the first quarter, selling all the 1.993 million shares it held at the end of the fourth quarter.

Rivian stock sale may have been a strategic move ahead of the company's initial public offering lockup expiration.

The bank also offloaded about 70% of its holdings in Chinese EV startup XPeng, Inc. (NYSE: XPEV) and was left with 1.403 million shares of this Cathie Wood-backed company at the end of the first quarter.

A noteworthy buy has been that of XPeng's peer Li Auto, Inc. (NASDAQ: LI). At the end of the first quarter, Norges Bank held about 4.50 million shares of Li Auto, up 47% from the previous quarter.

Other Buys/Sells: Norges Bank increased its bets on Nio, Inc. (NYSE: NIO). This is despite the stock of the Chinese EV startup struggling amid the geopolitical, macroeconomic and regulatory challenges.

On the other hand, it disposed some shares of EV market leader Tesla, Inc. (NYSE: NIO).

Norges Bank modestly boosted its position on legacy automakers General Motors Corporation (NYSE: NYSE:GM) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE: NYSE:F).
