EV maker Lucid Motor’s (LCID) recent price cuts have been “well received by customers,” according to CEO Peter Rawlinson. The company’s leader also said the Gravity electric SUV launch is on track for November.
Amid a wave of price cuts that started with Tesla earlier this year, Lucid slashed prices earlier this month on its Air EV by up to $12,400.
The EV maker is offering what it calls the “Pure Summer Event,” featuring special lease and financing deals on the Lucid Air Pure AWD and available Touring and Grand Touring models. The promotion runs through August 31.
Those looking to purchase a Lucid Air Pure can save $5,000 with a new listing price of $82,400 (down from $87,400) and available 4.99% financing (for up to 72 months).
Lucid is also offering a lease deal that includes $749 per month for 36 months, with $7,699 due at signing. The Lucid Air Pure lease model price is $83,900, including destination.
The Air Touring is available at $95,000 (with 4.99% APR financing) or $1,149 per month lease (36 months) with $9,814 due at signing. The total lease price, including destination, is $112,400.

Meanwhile, the 1,050 hp Grand Touring Performance with 516 miles EPA estimated range is on sale for $125,600 or $1,399 per month lease with $10,899 due at signing (for a $140,000 lease model price). Both the Touring and Grand Touring are $12,000 off.

Lucid Air EV price cuts are boosting interest
So far, the price cuts are working, according to Rawlinson. Lucid’s CEO told Yahoo Finance at the Pebble Beach Concours that it has seen an uptick in sales and increased interest in the brand following the promotional pricing.
Rawlinson said the company reverted to its original pricing, which he believes “we got about right.” He added:
We hit some really inflationary challenges particularly in batteries as we got into the summer of ’22. (So) we had to take a price action accordingly. But I’m delighted to say we’re back to our original pricing structure and, and that’s been so well received by customers in the market alike.
Although Lucid’s EVs don’t qualify for the $7,500 tax credit because of their price, they do qualify for the credit through leasing.
The move comes after Lucid’s deliveries fell for the second straight quarter in Q2 with 1,404 units. Meanwhile, the EV maker has several big launches coming up.

Lucid teased the 1,200 hp Air Sapphire coming off the assembly line last month, claiming it will be available soon. The ultra-high-performance EV starts at $249,000.
Rawlinson said the company offered test drives around Monterey Peninsula to build brand awareness for the upcoming Sapphire launch.
The EV maker is also set to release its first electric SUV, the Gravity, which Rawlinson says is on track for its official debut. He said, “We’re going to have a real launch event, an unveiling this November. So watch this place, there’s going to be a world premiere, and I’m really excited.”

Lucid has around 30 three-row Gravity SUV prototypes rolling around as it finalizes development. Although pricing has yet to be revealed, expectations are upward of $100,000.
Rawlinson didn’t mention specifics, so we will have to wait until Lucid releases third-quarter delivery numbers to see how well the price cuts are really working to stimulate demand.

The Chevy Equinox EV, or “America’s most affordable 315+ range EV,” as GM calls it, is red-hot. Thanks to the electric Equinox, Chevy is solidifying its position as the fastest-growing EV brand in the US. The Chevy Equinox EV helped GM’s electric vehicle sales more than double in Q2, but there’s more to the story.
The Chevy Equinox EV is charging up GM’s sales
GM surpassed Ford and Hyundai Motor last year to become the second-best EV seller in the US. This year, it’s closing the gap with Tesla.
Led by the Equinox EV, GM’s EV sales more than doubled in Q2, and Chevy solidified its position as the number two electric vehicle brand.
Chevy’s electric vehicle sales surged 134% in the first half. In Q2, Chevy sold 17,420 Equinox, 6,549 Blazer, and 3,056 Silverado EVs. Through June, GM has now sold 27,749 Equinox, 12,736 Blazer, and 5,439 electric Silverado models. The Chevy Equinox EV is expected to be one of the top three best-selling EVs in the US.

Although Chevy’s new EVs are a hit, they are not the only growth driver behind GM’s success. The American automaker sold a total of 46,280 electric vehicles in Q2, representing a 111% increase from the same period in 2024.

GM’s share of the EV market in Q2 was approximately 16%, with growth across the Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC brands.
Cadillac notched its 12th consecutive quarter of retail sales growth, achieving its highest market share since 2014.

With a full lineup of electric SUVs, including the entry-level (Optiq), midsize (Lyriq), and full-size (Vestiq and Escalade IQ), nearly one in four Cadillac models sold were EVs. GM sold 3,224 Cadillac Optiqs, its new entry-level EV, 5,017 Lyriqs, 1,744 Vistiqs, and 1,810 Escalade IQs in the second quarter.

After launching the new 2026 Sierra EV with an over $27,000 price cut from the 2025 model year, GMC sold over 1,500 electric Sierra models. Even the GMC Hummer EV is seeing more demand, with 4,508 units sold in Q2, up 54% from last year.
Starting at under $35,000 with up to 319 miles of range, it’s no wonder the Equinox EV is selling like hotcakes. With leases starting at just $289 per month, it’s a great deal right now. Who knew an affordable EV with over 300 miles of range would sell?

Clean energy stocks rose on Tuesday after a tax on solar and wind projects was removed from the Senate version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Shares of NextEra Energy, the largest renewables developer in the U.S., rose nearly 3% after the Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s bill on Tuesday. AES, a leading renewable provider, rose almost 2%. The megabill will now go to the House of Representatives, where lawmakers will consider the Senate’s changes.
The clean energy industry was surprised and outraged to find over the weekend that a tax on wind and solar projects had been inserted into a version of the Senate legislation. The tax applied to projects that use components from foreign entities of concern above a certain threshold. Foreign entities of concern is widely understood to basically refer to China.
The American Clean Power Association and Solar Energy Industries Association told CNBC that the tax was struck from the Senate legislation. ACP had described the tax as punitive and warned that it would add up to $7 billion to the solar and wind industry’s tax burden.

The Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) over the past three months.
Shares of First Solar, the largest solar panel manufacturer in the U.S., slipped less than 1%. Sun tracker manufacturers Array Technologies and Nextracker jumped more than 11% and about 5%, respectively.
Residential solar installer Sunrun rose 9% while inverter manufacturers SolarEdge and Enphase were up about 8% and 4%, respectively.
But the Solar Energy Industries Association cautioned that the improvements in the Senate bill are “limited” and the legislation overall is still harmful to renewable energy.
“This legislation undermines the very foundation of America’s manufacturing comeback and global energy leadership,” CEO Abigail Ross Hopper said in a statement. “If this bill becomes law, families will face higher electric bills, factories will shut down, Americans will lose their jobs, and our electric grid will grow weaker.”
