EV startup Lucid Motors has had a great month so far. Not only is it closer to the official debut of its Air luxury electric sedan, but the Air also placed a maximum range of more than 500 miles (in a non-EPA test it must be said).
Now, according to a report published Thursday by YouTube channel E for Electric, it looks like things are getting even bigger for Lucid. Specifically, Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson confirmed in an interview that the company not only intends to offer an SUV, but that it already has a working and driving prototype that is being tested. The new SUV will be based on the Air platform, and just as efficient.
Rawlinson, a veteran of Jaguar, Lotus and Tesla, says the brand has other models and platforms in the works as part of its 10-year plan. He would like Lucid to build a car a year by 2027 – a lofty goal indeed.
He pointed out that the world is getting a potential sneak-peek at this SUV on Sept. 9, when the Air sedan is slated to make its full production debut, and if Lucid can pull that off, the potential compensation could be enormous.
