Aston Martin’s previous attempts at electric vehicles, the Rapide E and Lagonda Vision Concept, were cancelled. However, the company is now more determined than ever to sell zero-emission cars and has improved financially due to significant investments. To prepare for their electric future, Aston Martin has partnered with Lucid.
In an announcement earlier this week, it was revealed that future electric vehicles will utilize electric motors and battery modules from Lucid. Aston Martin’s chairman, Lawrence Stroll, stated that the company has plans to introduce four electric vehicles in the next few years. The first one is expected to be released in 2025 and is likely to be a coupe-styled SUV, although details are scarce.
It is important to note that these upcoming electric vehicles will be in addition to Aston Martin’s current lineup and will not replace existing internal combustion engine models.
Aston Martin is teaming up with Lucid to catch up in the electric vehicle (EV) market. The British automaker plans to use Lucid’s expertise and technology on a new dedicated platform for various future models, including sports cars, grand tourers, SUVs, and even a hypercar. The first EV is expected to launch in 2025.
This partnership between Aston Martin and Lucid involves a long-term deal wherein Aston Martin will utilize specific powertrain and battery components for a family of high-performance EVs. This collaboration is part of Aston Martin’s broader sustainability strategy called “Racing. Green.” Over the next five years, Aston Martin will invest over £2 billion ($2.54 billion) to support this strategy. The goal is for all Aston Martin vehicles to offer an electrified powertrain option by 2026, with the core models transitioning to pure EVs by the end of the decade.
