On May 7, Faraday Future announced today that based on the consensus reached on strategic cooperation with its bridge partners, it plans to upgrade the original FX Super One model to an 800V pure electric version or accelerate the AIHER hybrid project, and at the same time suspend the original Super One 400V model cooperation project.
According to the latest strategy, after funds are in place, the 800V pure electric model is expected to achieve the first phase of delivery within 6 to 9 months, the second phase within 12 to 15 months, and the third phase within 21 to 24 months; the AIHER hybrid version is expected to achieve the first phase delivery within 9 to 12 months, the second phase within 21 to 24 months, and the third phase within 24 to 28 months.
Faraday Future stated that the 800V architecture model has stronger product capabilities than the original 400V model, and is expected to bring longer battery life, faster recharge speed and higher power efficiency through the "high voltage, low current" strategy. At the same time, the AIHER hybrid version, the world's first AI "extended range + hybrid" fusion technology, is also being promoted simultaneously. This technology is especially suitable for cold winter areas such as the East Coast of the United States.
It is worth noting that Faraday Future’s EAI robot business has made key progress. As of April 30, the company has shipped a total of 68 EAI robots and achieved positive gross profit per product. It has become one of the first companies in the United States to simultaneously deliver humanoid and bionic EAI robots and expand into the education market. The company is making steady progress towards its shipment target of 200 units in the first delivery season in May, and expects cumulative shipments to exceed 1,000 units in 2026.
Faraday Future stated that it is negotiating with potential strategic investors and medium- and long-term investors and has received positive feedback, and is expected to abandon the highly dilutive convertible bond financing model. This strategic adjustment aims to focus more resources on the critical period of EAI robot climbing to reduce short-term cash expenditures, form an operating closed loop faster, and reduce financial risks.
