Status Update summary

20 Jan, 2026

Strategic brand and product launch

  • Announced the launch of a second brand, Farady X (FX), targeting the U.S. mass market with affordable AIEVs, aiming for twice the performance at half the price compared to current offerings.

  • FX will offer two initial models: FX 5 ($20,000–$30,000) and FX 6 ($30,000–$50,000), with production targeted to begin by the end of 2025.

  • FX leverages open source, user co-creation, and global supply chain integration, aiming to create a new RE-AIEV category and accelerate AIEV adoption in the U.S.

  • The strategy includes collaboration with four OEMs, with two strategic framework agreements and two MOUs already signed.

  • FX will utilize the existing Hanford, CA factory for initial production, with plans for expansion and local partnerships as volume grows.

Market opportunity and user insights

  • U.S. EV market penetration remains below 20%, with a lack of affordable, intelligent AIEVs and underdeveloped infrastructure.

  • Survey results highlight strong demand for EVs in the $20,000–$30,000 range, range-extended AIEVs, and intelligent cabin features.

  • 84% of surveyed U.S. consumers see a need for range-extended EVs.

  • FX aims to fill these gaps by offering high-value, AI-powered vehicles and engaging users in product definition and co-creation.

  • The range-extended AIEV segment is largely untapped in the U.S., presenting a significant growth opportunity.

Execution and operational progress

  • Transitioned from a project-driven to an operation-driven organization, focusing on cost optimization, quality, and user operations.

  • Regained Nasdaq compliance and improved operating expenses and losses year-over-year.

  • Established a sales entity in Dubai and expanded into the Middle East, supporting a global bridge strategy.

  • In-house production of vehicle bodies and interiors has halved interior costs and improved quality control.

  • Hosted the first Investor Community Day, enhancing investor engagement.
