Lucid Motors makes Lucid electric cars. Lucid began as Atieva in 2007, building electric vehicle batteries and powertrains. However, the company decided to make its own vehicles, rebranding itself as Lucid Motors in 2016.
Silvio Napoli took the reins of Lucid as chief executive officer in 2026, following an interim period led by Marc Winterhoff after Peter Rawlinson stepped down in February 2025 and transitioned to the role of strategic technical advisor to the chairman of the board. The company’s largest shareholder is Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which owns a nearly 45% stake in Lucid.
Lucid designs its cars in Newark, California, and assembles them primarily at facilities in Casa Grande, Arizona. It also assembles vehicles at a facility in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia. In 2025, the company acquired select facilities previously owned by Nikola Corp., in Arizona, as it looks to expand manufacturing and more. Its first vehicle, the Lucid Air sedan, debuted in 2022. Lucid Air gets an EPA estimated range of up to 512 miles, the highest of any electric vehicle (as of this writing). The Lucid Gravity SUV debuted in 2025, with its high-performance Gravity GT-S set to debut in late 2026.
