Lucid and Saudi Arabia have been in the talks of vehicle manufacturing since early last year. Now it appears to be the time for it to begin.
California-based automaker Lucid Motors is a technological powerhouse in the EV sector. The Lucid Air Grand Touring sedan produces 819 horsepower and can travel 516 miles on a single charge, per the EPA. Some entities have taken note of Lucid's advancements, and one of which was the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Lucid's current primary manufacturing site is located in Casa Grande, Arizona, and its construction was completed in December 2020. In February 2022, Lucid and Saudi Arabia made a manufacturing location deal, and its government saw this as a beneficial opportunity to electrify its fleet. Within the manufacturing deal, Saudi Arabia said it would buy between 50,000 and 100,000 of Lucid's EVs..
King Abdullah Economic City is one of Saudi Arabia's four economic zones. By being in these economic zones, Lucid is granted an array of benefits, including"." Lucid recently received one of these licenses; therefore, the facility is ready to hit the ground running. Lucid's Saudi facility will accept pre-manufactured vehicles from its AMP-1 manufacturing site, but the firm says it will eventually allow for"production of complete vehicles." The EV manufacturer is set to commence mass production there next year.
