Lucid And EVIQ Join Forces To Enhance High-Speed EV Charging In Saudi Arabia

Lucid Group, represented by Lucid in Saudi Arabia, and Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Company (EVIQ) have announced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to activate high-speed public charging systems. This initiative aims to support the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the kingdom. The MoU signifies a strategic alignment between Lucid and EVIQ to foster cooperation and the exchange of expertise in the development and enhancement of Saudi Arabia’s EV infrastructure.

Lucid Air is among the fastest charging vehicles on the market today. The company is committed to providing an expanded ownership experience, making it easier for people to buy and own electric vehicles. Under the MoU, Lucid and EVIQ will collaborate to develop a high-speed public charging offering for Lucid customers, utilising EVIQ’s stations to provide fast-charging capabilities.

"The collaboration between Lucid and EVIQ represents a significant step forward in addressing one of the key challenges hindering the mass adoption of electric vehicles – access to convenient and reliable charging infrastructure," said Faisal Sultan, Vice President and Managing Director Middle East at Lucid.

By combining Lucid's expertise in electric vehicle design, manufacturing, and sustainable mobility with EVIQ's extensive experience in developing and operating public charging networks, including fast-charging stations, the collaboration will serve to drive innovation and accelerate EV ownership in Saudi Arabia.

"Our mission is to provide the best-in-class EV chargers & technologies to empower drivers in Saudi to buy and use EVs with confidence," said Mohammad Bakr Gazzaz, CEO at EVIQ. "Through this partnership with Lucid, we have taken another big step towards our goal of establishing a national network of fast charging locations by 2030, to enable and encourage the use of EVs across Saudi Arabia, in line with the Saudi Green Initiative and Vision 2030."
