Lucid Motors Doubles Electric Vehicle Production in 2025 After Early SUV Challenges
Lucid Motors has greatly increased its electric vehicle production in 2025, bouncing back after initial challenges with the Gravity SUV.
Casa Grande: Lucid Motors built twice as many electric vehicles in 2025 as it did in 2024. This shows the company has bounced back from its struggles with the new Gravity SUV. They announced this on Monday and shared important production numbers.
In 2025, Lucid made 18,378 EVs. This includes 8,412 EVs made in just the fourth quarter. That’s a significant increase compared to the first half of the year. They also delivered 15,841 vehicles in total for the year, which is 55% more than in 2024.
This strong end to 2025 sets Lucid up for an important year ahead. They will start to build a new type of vehicle on their mid-sized EV platform. This new vehicle will cost around $50,000 and will aim to compete with popular models like the Tesla Model Y and Rivian’s upcoming R2 SUV.
However, these numbers are still quite low compared to what Lucid expected when it became public in a $4 billion deal in 2021. Back then, the company claimed it would deliver 135,000 vehicles in 2025. They aimed to make 86,000 Gravity SUVs and 42,000 Air sedans.
Those goals changed as Lucid faced many problems with production and demand, especially during the pandemic. Early in 2025, the start of Gravity SUV production brought many quality issues. Marc Winterhoff, the interim CEO, even emailed customers in December to share their frustration.
He said, “Lingering software problems have unfortunately affected our customers’ experience and satisfaction. I would like to assure you that we are laser focused on addressing these issues.”
