US-based EV start-up to supply powertrain and battery components for new family of electric Aston Martins
Aston Martin's electric era will begin with a new SUV in late 2025 powered by Lucid motor and battery technologies. US start-up Lucid’s components will feed into Aston’s own bespoke modular battery-electric car architecture, which is set to underpin a range of models starting with the new SUV and followed by a GT by the end of the decade.
Lucid boss Peter Rawlinson said that these have 9hp per kg of power density, which is more than double Tesla and eight times that of Hyundai's motors. The firm is also working on motors for racing that have 17hp per kg. Aston's electric cars will use four motors, with power outputs potentially up to 1500bhp. "Aston will use four motors, we're three," said Rawlinson, who as well as being Lucid CEO is its chief technology officer.
