Quebec-based electric-vehicle manufacturer Lion Electric Co. is facing a class-action lawsuit from shareholders who allege the company misled investors and misrepresented its financial health, leading to artificially inflated stock prices.

“Damages suffered by the members of the proposed group are the direct and immediate result of the false and misleading representations, omissions and failures to provide continuous information by the defendants,” said the court filing dated Friday.
