Lucid registered 62 vehicles across its five European markets in October, its highest monthly total of 2026, as registrations in Germany and Switzerland rose to their highest levels since July 2025, national registration data show.
The total compared with four in October 2025 and 40 in September, and topped the previous 2026 high of 53 set in June, according to data from Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium compiled by EV.
Registrations include test drive, showroom and press vehicles and do not correspond directly to customer deliveries.
Germany Carries the Month
Germany, Lucid’s largest European market, accounted for 67.7% of the October total. It registered 42 vehicles in October, up from a single unit a year earlier and from 26 in September, according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA).
It was Lucid’s highest German total since July 2025, when it recorded 46, and its best month of 2026, ahead of the 31 registered in June. The October figure equals the brand’s total for the whole of the fourth quarter of 2025.
Lucid’s German registrations for the first 10 months reached 208, up 46.5% from 142 in the same period of 2025 and already above the 183 registered in all of last year.
The figure remains below the 392 registered in 2024, when the Air sedan was the only model available in the market.
The 2026 German series runs 11 in January, seven in February, 17 in March, 21 each in April and May, 31 in June, six in July, 26 each in August and September, and 42 in October.
The KBA’s monthly release does not split Lucid’s registrations by model. The 42 units compared with 94,086 battery-electric cars registered in Germany in October, when fully electric models took a record 37.0% of the market.
Switzerland
Switzerland recorded 12 Lucid registrations in October, up from one a year earlier and five in September, according to EU-EVs, which compiles national registration data.
It was the highest Swiss monthly total since July 2025, when Lucid registered 22 vehicles there.
Lucid’s Swiss total for the first 10 months rose to 45, down 18.2% from 55 a year earlier. Auto-schweiz, the Swiss importers’ association, does not list Lucid separately in its monthly brand tables.
Netherlands, Norway and Belgium
In the Netherlands, home to Lucid’s European headquarters in Hilversum, the brand registered seven vehicles in October, up from two a year earlier and four in September, according to BOVAG.
Three were Air sedans and four were Gravity SUVs, according to the open vehicle register of RDW, the Dutch vehicle authority. It was Lucid’s third-best Dutch month of 2026, behind 10 in May and eight in June.
Lucid’s Dutch total for the first 10 months rose to 46, with the Gravity accounting for 32. Every Lucid registered in the Netherlands in the first seven months of 2025 was an Air.
In Norway, Lucid registered a single Gravity SUV in October, after two in September and none a year earlier, according to Elbilstatistikk. Its Norwegian total for the year stands at nine, half the 18 recorded in the same period of 2025.
In Belgium, where Lucid opened a test-drive center in Zaventem, outside Brussels, on June 2, the brand registered no vehicles in October, after three in September, according to the Belgian automotive federation FEBIAC.
Its Belgian total for the year stayed at 10, including three registered before the launch, against five in the first 10 months of 2025.
Revenue and Strategy
Lucid does not report European sales separately.
Revenue from “other international” markets, the category outside North America and the Middle East, fell 39.9% to $5.8 million in the third quarter from $9.7 million a year earlier, according to its quarterly report. For the first nine months, it rose 47.0% to $27.2 million.
Asked on the November 9 earnings call about capital allocation for Europe, Chief Financial Officer Alexander De Bock said Lucid had “slightly changed the model we are using to approach our customers in Europe, with more moving towards the indirect model and using agents and importers.”
“For us, this is the most efficient way to address this market at this stage,” he said.
Chief Executive Officer Silvio Napoli, making the case for Lucid’s planned midsize model, said many customers tell the company the Gravity is “too big” for them. “That is particularly true in markets like Europe,” he said.
New Partners in Germany
The October figures arrived as Lucid added to its German network, where it is moving from a direct sales model to dealer partnerships.
On November 3, Lucid named Cloppenburg Automobil SE, a dealer group whose sites mostly sell BMW and Mini vehicles, as its “primary retail partner for the Düsseldorf region.” Cloppenburg will open a dedicated Lucid sales and service location in Duisburg in January 2027 and provide authorized service in Erlangen, in Bavaria.
“Expanding local access to sales and service reflects Lucid’s commitment to delivering the seamless ownership experience that our customers expect,” said Lawrence Hamilton, President of Europe at Lucid.
A month earlier, Lucid named Autohaus Possögel in Naumburg, Saxony-Anhalt, as an authorized service-only partner from December, the first European partner given a service role without sales.
“A strong service network will deliver the ownership experience Lucid customers expect,” Hamilton said at the time.
Cloppenburg joins Wackenhut, which Lucid announced as its first European retail partner in March and which began selling and servicing Lucid vehicles in Baden-Baden on March 30. In the Netherlands, Lucid named Munsterhuis Autobedrijven as its first Dutch retail partner in August, with a site in Hengelo.
Lucid listed all of these arrangements in its service update on Tuesday.
Service Push
Lucid said this week that it had raised its year-end target for service staffing to a 50% increase, from 35% set in August, and that service wait times fell 20% in the third quarter from the second.
Technician and service-support staffing was up more than 40% globally through the third quarter, the company said. It is targeting a 60% increase in the first quarter of 2027.
“We are building a broader, more accessible service network that supports our guests wherever they are in the ownership journey,” said Billy Hayes, Chief Customer Officer at Lucid.
Lucid counted 12 studios and service centers in Europe at September 30, excluding temporary and satellite sites: seven in Germany, three in Switzerland and one each in Norway and the Netherlands, according to its quarterly report. The total was the same as at the end of 2025.
In February, it had planned 25 more European locations in 2026, each “subject to completed contract.” The report does not say whether partner-run sites are included in the count.
Lucid also launched certified used Air sales in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Norway at the end of September, with the Gravity to follow. Used-car sales do not appear in new registration figures.
Paris Debut and France
Lucid exhibited at the Paris Motor Show for the first time from October 12 to 18, in Hall 7.1, showing the Air sedan and the Gravity SUV, and used the event to set out its French launch plans.
The company said orders in France are “expected to open in the first quarter of 2027,” when it will also open its first three retail and service locations there with partner Emil Frey France. The sites are “the beginning of a planned network of more than 16 partner locations by the end of 2027,” Lucid said.
“France is an important market for Lucid,” Hamilton said.
France will be Lucid’s sixth European market. French customers can already place reservations on its website.
Elsewhere, EV reported in June that Lucid had pushed its Spain and Austria entries to 2027, which the company has not confirmed or denied as of Wednesday.
Lawrence Hamilton told The Independent in May that a UK launch was “more likely to be the beginning of 2028 rather than 2027,” as the brand pushed back its British plans.
Lucid cut the Gravity’s entry price in Germany on August 19 to 94,900 euros ($105,300) and expanded the range to four trims. Its German offers page in early November listed leases from 949 euros ($1,100) a month for the Gravity Touring.
Globally, Lucid delivered 3,806 vehicles and produced 2,954 in the third quarter. Its 82 European registrations in that quarter were equivalent to about 2% of deliveries, though the two measures are not directly comparable.
