Lucid Motors Group, now known as Lucid Group and formerly known as Churchill Capital IV Corp, is an American automotive company. Specifically, the company is engaged in the manufacture of electric vehicles.
The group has developed a car called Lucid Air, which is a sedan that offers interior space in a medium-sized exterior footprint. This sedan uses electric vehicle technology in every car model it builds.
The group's vehicles offer 1,080 horsepower with a range of nearly 800km per charge. In addition, an app allows drivers to enjoy a unique driving experience with Air Dream Edition, Air Grand Touring, Air Touring and Air Pure.
The company's studios and service centers are located in California, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, Washington, D.C., Arizona, Canada, Virginia, Texas and Colorado, USA.
Finally, it should be noted that the group has not yet started marketing its vehicles given that the launch of the Lucid Air, initially planned for 2020, has been postponed due to the Covid pandemic. The company should thus begin to make sales in the coming years and thus demonstrate its ability to be profitable.

If a good knowledge of the Lucid Motors group is essential to the analysis of its stock price, the same goes for its competitors. Indeed, as the electric vehicle market is currently booming, the company has to face some major opponents, of which here is a quick presentation:
First of all, the former Tesla Motors is a company specialized in the construction of electric vehicles. Founded in 2003, it is now headed by Elon Musk and is one of the most innovative companies in its sector with a mission to accelerate the global transition to a sustainable energy pattern. The group is also diversified in the field of energy solutions with stationary batteries for homes and industry or with photovoltaic panels.
This other American carmaker has also recently refocused on manufacturing electric vehicles. The company led some 15 car brands in the late 1990s and was the largest in its sector a decade ago.
This company, whose name comes from the contraction of the words Indian River, is a recent and innovative company based in the United States that became an electric vehicle automaker recently, in September 2021. The group which is headquartered in Plymouth, Michigan is currently considered, along with Tesla, as Lucid's most dangerous competitor.
This other company is a Chinese car manufacturer specializing in the development of electric vehicle production and has been around since 2014. Following its creation, the company has benefited from the investment of several other groups including Tencent, Temasek, Baidu, Sequoia, Lenovo and TPG. Let's also note that the British investment company Baillie Gifford took an 11% stake in this company in 2018.
Of course, the Lucid Motors Group has not only opponents but also partners, as it regularly joins forces with other companies in order to boost its growth or its innovations. Here are two concrete examples of these partnerships:
In 2021, the group announced, among other things, the establishment of an alliance with the giant Apple. Indeed, let's remember that the Apple group plans to launch its first electric car in the course of 2024 and that Apple also serves today as an operating partner for this company. The partnership should be confirmed soon.
