Lucid Group Inc. will sell as many as 100,000 electric vehicles to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over the next decade, ranking among the largest-ever purchases of plug-in models.
The automaker reached a deal with Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Finance for 50,000 EVs over that span, with the option for another 50,000, according to a statement Tuesday. Lucid said it would start delivering the vehicles by the second quarter of 2023.
