Lucid Motors plans to ramp up EV production in 2025 after initial struggles with the Gravity SUV

Lucid Motors plans to produce twice as many electric vehicles in 2025 as it did the previous year, indicating that the company is back to basics with its new Gravity SUV.

The company he announced On Monday it ended the year having built 18,378 EVs, with 8,412 of those coming in the fourth quarter alone. That’s more than Lucid built at its Casa Grande, Arizona plant in the first half of the year. Lucid also said it delivered – meaning it sold – 15,841 vehicles throughout the year, a 55% increase over 2024 figures.

The tight deadline to 2025 sets Lucid up for a crucial year that will see the company begin production of the first vehicle on its new mid-size EV platform. The company says this first car will cost around $50,000, putting it in the same market segment as the Tesla Model Y and Rivian’s upcoming R2 SUV.

Those numbers still pale in comparison to what Lucid Motors threw up when it first appeared plus $4 billion in 2021. At the same time, the company he said will deliver 135,000 vehicles in 2025, with 86,000 of those being Gravity SUVs, 42,000 being Air sedans, and the remaining 7,000 coming from its existing mid-size EV.

These goals became impossible as Lucid raced to design, supply, and troubleshoot all of its vehicles, all the while navigating an automotive market that was severely disrupted by the pandemic. The company suffered a major setback in early 2025 when it began ramping up production of the Gravity SUV. Since then it has faced a series of car problems, until interim CEO Marc Winterhoff sent an email to customers in December that he shared in their “disappointment”.

“A growing number of software issues have unfortunately impacted our customer experience and satisfaction. I want to assure you that we are focused on resolving these issues,” he wrote.
