Lucid Group significantly increased its production and sales last year as it continues to ramp up production of its new Gravity SUV.
The all-electric vehicle manufacturer on Monday said its deliveries last year increased to 15,841 units, up 55% compared with 2024, including a more than 70% year-over-year increase during the fourth quarter.
The automaker also achieved a previously lowered production target of roughly 18,000 vehicles in 2025, down from an initial expectation of as much as 20,000 vehicles. It produced 18,378 units last year, including 8,412 EVs during the fourth quarter.
Much of that increase is likely due to a prolonged ramp-up of its Gravity SUV, which has faced a slew of challenges, primarily supply chain shortages, the company has said.
In addition to Lucid’s own challenges, EV manufacturers face industrywide issues such asincreasing costs because of tariffsand slower forecast sales of EVs, as well as regulatory changes that are negatively impacting sales and profits, including the end of consumer federal incentives.
Lucid’s results come days after EV rival Rivian posted an 18% declinein deliveries last year compared to 2024, as the company prepares for new products this year. U.S. EV leader Tesla last week reported itssecond consecutive annual sales declineglobally.
