Lucid Motors registered two vehicles in the Netherlands in February — both Gravity SUVs — with zero Air sedans sold for the third time in four months.
The EV maker has now registered three Gravity units in the country in 2026 without announcing the start of Dutch customer deliveries, suggesting the vehicles are for press, test drive, or showroom purposes.
Swiss deliveries of the SUV are also set to begin, according to Lucid’s staff.
The brand’s year-to-date total stands at three registrations — all Gravity units — as the Air sedan that launched the brand in the Dutch market in late 2022 has gone unsold since December.
Slower EV Sales
The broader Dutch EV market declined 33.1% year over year to 6,805 units in February, down from 10,174 a year earlier, according to data released Sunday by industry association BOVAG.
The motor vehicle tax exemption for zero-emission passenger cars in the Netherlands was replaced with a 30% discount effective January 2026, dropping to 25% in 2029 before ending entirely in 2030.
EV market share fell to 30.4% in February from 36.6% a year earlier.
The Tesla Model Y led EV sales with 351 registrations, followed by the Kia EV3 with 341 units and the Renault 5 E-Tech with 295. Lucid did not appear in the top rankings.
Hybrid vehicles dominated the Dutch market with 13,059 registrations, capturing 58.4% market share — a 13.6 percentage point increase from February 2025.
Total new car registrations fell 19.6% year over year to 22,380 units, the second consecutive month of declining sales.
Year-to-date registrations stand at 50,366, down 16.4% from the same period last year.
Gravity
According to Lucid‘s Dutch website, some Gravity SUV configurations show delivery waiting times of two to eight weeks, while others are listed for the second quarter of the year.
The management had said in September that it planned to begin European deliveries of the SUV in January.
Lucid registered two Gravity vehicles in December and one in January before these two February registrations.
None have been confirmed as customer deliveries as of Sunday.
2025 Performance
Lucid registered 53 vehicles in the Netherlands last year, a slight increase from 47 units in 2024, as demand for the Air sedan on the continent remains weaker than expected.
Three years after its official market launch, the company continues to struggle to ramp up sales.
After beginning the year with 15 registrations in the first quarter — 12 of them in March, its highest monthly result in the Netherlands — quarterly sales tumbled to 10 vehicles in the second quarter and just nine in the third.
A December rebound to 14 units lifted the fourth quarter to 19.
European Expansion
The Netherlands hosts Lucid‘s European headquarters, established in 2021, and is one of four markets it currently serves alongside Germany, Norway, and Switzerland.
The company opened its first European service, delivery, and sales center — the Lucid Studio in Hilversum — in December 2022.
Lucid plans to expand into eight additional European markets in 2026, tripling its continental footprint to 12 countries.
France, Belgium, and Denmark have been confirmed among the new markets.
