RE: Lucid-mclaren-formula E15 Sep 2018 16:56
Peter Rawlinson: Since you ask, I can disclose that before we branded as Lucid, the car company, our name was and remains, actually, Atieva. Atieva is delighted to partner with McLaren Applied Technologies of Formula One fame, and Murata, formerly Sony cells, to supply the Formula E packs. It’s the Atieva design, and that will be for seasons five, six and seven, starting in late 2018. That’s not Lucid – I want to be really clear, that’s not under the Lucid banner, that is an Atieva project.
... keep wondering why this statement is done... they only reason I can figure out is that Lucid is working together with Samsung SDI on the car and that Atieva is working with Murata and/or Cap-XX on the formula E. It seems important to keep those two separate...
