Lucid‘s European registrations stood at 42 in November, data compiled by EV showed on Monday, a tenfold increase from the record low registered in October with just four units.
The California-based EV maker registered in November its first vehicles in Spain ahead of the 2026 arrival, while posting a sharp recovery in Europe’s largest automotive market.
Germany accounted for the bulk of the improvement, with 29 registrations compared to just one unit in October.
Despite the sequential gain, the figure represents a 75% decline from the 116 units registered a year earlier.
Switzerland followed with nine units, all of which were the Lucid Air sedan, according to the registration platform EU-EVs.
Deliveries of the company’s second model, the Gravity SUV, are expected to begin in the first weeks of 2026 across all European markets.
Spain contributed three units in November, marking Lucid‘s first registrations in the country, as exclusively reported by EV last week.
The platform EU-EVs identified the vehicles as two Air Pure and one Air Touring — both trims of the company’s debut sedan.
Norway and Netherlands Struggle
Norway recorded just one registration in November, unchanged from a year earlier. The single unit was a Gravity SUV, likely intended for showroom display or press use, as customer deliveries have not yet begun.
The result means the Lucid Air has now recorded zero sales in Norway for the third consecutive month, according to data from Elbilstatistikk and EU-EVs. Year-to-date, Lucid has registered 19 units in Norway, where it entered the market in early 2023.
The Netherlands posted zero registrations in November, down from two units in October and two a year earlier, according to Dutch industry association BOVAG. The market houses Lucid‘s European headquarters, which opened in 2021.
Across the five markets with available data, Lucid registrations fell 96 units compared to November 2024, when Germany alone accounted for 116 vehicles.
Expansion Plans
Earlier this year, Lucid‘s President for the European region Lawrence Hamilton said the company was planning expansion to the top five European markets over the following 18 months, including the UK, France, Italy, and Spain, in addition to Germany.
At the time, the executive attributed the company’s absence in Southern European markets to a “lagging” adoption of electric vehicles.
Last September, interim Chief Executive Officer Marc Winterhoff confirmed Lucid‘s expansion to eight new European markets next year, tripling its presence on the continent.
“In total, next year our plans are to open in eight additional markets. So, we are rapidly expanding in Europe,” Winterhoff said in a Q&A session in Germany attended by EV amid the local debut of the Gravity model.
Denmark and Belgium are among the upcoming markets, according to Europe President Lawrence Hamilton.
Gravity Deliveries Imminent
Lucid opened European orders for the three-row Gravity SUV in September.
Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first weeks of 2026, though Winterhoff suggested at the model’s European debut in Munich that initial units could reach customers before year-end.
The Gravity is priced from €102,900 in the Netherlands and NOK 1.049 million ($103,100) in Norway for the Touring trim. The higher-end Grand Touring starts at NOK 1.249 million ($122,800).
As of press time, Lucid shares are falling 6.60% on Wednesday’s trading session at $12.53.
The company said earlier this Monday that its interim CEO will be speaking at a fireside chat later this week.
Updates on the unveiling date of the third model — which the CFO said last week will take place by mid-2026 — as well as on the 2025 annual guidance of 18,000 EVs manufactured, are expected to be among the topics addressed by the interim CEO at the event.
