Company ready to expand range to compete with key Tesla models

The company, which currently only offers its Air model – an EV that has won many plaudits for its class-leading electric range and battery efficiency – will expand into the popular SUV market with the Gravity, due to arrive later this year.

With Lucid’s reputation for offering a rock-solid electric range and the latest in-car tech, it is well placed to enter the more competitive mass EV market, which is still dominated by Elon Musk’s Tesla.
