Company Description
Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) is a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company in the consumer cyclical sector, aligned with the auto manufacturers industry. Founded in 2014, the company describes its mission as disrupting the automotive industry by creating a user-centric, technology-first, smart driving experience. Faraday Future positions its business around intelligent electric vehicles (often referenced as AIEV or EAI EV), AI-driven mobility, and related ecosystem services.
The company’s flagship vehicle model is the FF 91, which it characterizes as embodying its vision for luxury, innovation, and performance in an intelligent electric vehicle. Building on this, Faraday Future has introduced the FX brand strategy, under which it plans mass-production models equipped with luxury technology similar to the FF 91 but aimed at a broader market with middle-to-low price range offerings. Within this FX brand, the company highlights the FX Super One, a premium mass-market MPV that is central to its forward-looking plans.
Business Focus and Operating Footprint
Faraday Future states that it operates as a global intelligent mobility ecosystem company headquartered in California, with operations conducted through subsidiaries. According to its SEC filings, the company has a majority of its operations in the United States through U.S.-domiciled operating subsidiaries and also operates in the People’s Republic of China through PRC subsidiaries. It notes that it plans to have significant operations in both Mainland China and Hong Kong in the future through these PRC subsidiaries.
In public communications, Faraday Future emphasizes a dual focus on EAI vehicles (embodied AI electric vehicles) and EAI robotics. The company refers to an upgraded Global Embodied AI (EAI) Industry Bridge Strategy, which extends its earlier Global Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy. Under this approach, Faraday Future links its vehicle programs with embodied AI robotics and, in some communications, with Web3 and crypto-related concepts, describing an "EAI + Crypto" dual-flywheel and a Global EAI Industry Bridge.
Key Vehicle Programs: FF 91 and FX Super One
The FF 91 is repeatedly described in company materials as Faraday Future’s flagship model, representing its approach to luxury intelligent electric vehicles. The company highlights the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance variant in some releases, and notes that this model is built at its Hanford, California manufacturing facility, which it calls "FF AI-Factory California." The FF 91 is used as a reference point for the level of technology and luxury that the FX brand aims to bring to a wider market.
The FX Super One is presented as a premium mass-market MPV and the first high-volume model in the FX brand. Faraday Future describes the FX Super One as having a spacious interior, high-end materials, and advanced technology, with multiple rows of seating, ambient lighting, and premium entertainment systems. The company states that the Super One is planned to be available with all-wheel drive and two powertrain options: a battery electric configuration and, at a later date, an AI hybrid extended range (AIHER) configuration.
Faraday Future reports that the first FX Super One pre-production vehicle rolled off the line at its Hanford, California facility, which it calls the FF AI-Factory. It also notes that deliveries of FX Super One vehicles have begun in the United Arab Emirates, including deliveries to RAK Digital Assets Oasis (also known as RAK Innovation City). The company has highlighted a deposit agreement for FX Super One units with ZEVO, a peer-to-peer EV sharing platform, as part of what it calls a B2B2C model.
Embodied AI Robotics and EAI Strategy
Beyond vehicles, Faraday Future has announced a move into Embodied AI (EAI) robotics. The company describes a dual-track growth model driven by both EAI vehicles and EAI robotics, and refers to its Global EAI Industry Bridge Strategy as a way to integrate AI, embodied intelligence, and related technologies. It has announced plans for FF EAI robotics products, including humanoid robots, and has discussed an FF EAI Robotics Product Final Launch and partner recruitment events aligned with major industry gatherings such as the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Las Vegas.
In its communications, Faraday Future states that its EAI robotics business is intended to complement its vehicle programs, with references to shared R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service capabilities. It also links these initiatives with concepts such as on-chain ownership confirmation of EAI EV assets and potential EAI + RWA (real-world asset) products, often in the context of collaborations or term sheets with blockchain-focused partners.
Manufacturing and Facilities
Faraday Future’s SEC and news disclosures reference a manufacturing and production facility in Hanford, California, referred to as "FF AI-Factory California." The company notes that this facility has been used to build the FF 91 and that the FX Super One pre-production vehicle has rolled off this line. It describes the facility as a multi-use site that can support flexible production lines and mixed-line manufacturing or assembly for multiple models, subject to additional investment and permitting.
In the Middle East, Faraday Future reports operating a regional factory and operations center in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, which it states is designed to support production of both FF and FX vehicles. The company indicates that this facility includes office space, production workshops, and an operational hub, and that it is intended to support a new energy vehicle ecosystem across the Middle East.
Strategic Partnerships and Ecosystem Approach
Faraday Future frequently describes itself as building a shared intelligent mobility ecosystem. In practice, this is reflected in several types of relationships mentioned in its disclosures:
- B2B and B2B2C relationships: The company has highlighted agreements with entities such as ZEVO for deposit agreements on FX Super One units and has referenced FX Par partners, car rental partners, real estate brokerage partners, and agencies as part of its sales and co-creation network.
- Middle East collaborations: Faraday Future Middle East FZ-LLC has signed a memorandum of understanding with RAK Digital Assets Oasis (RAK Innovation City) to explore cooperation in AI, Web3, the digital economy, and embodied intelligence, including potential research and innovation centers.
- Capital and tokenization initiatives: The company has disclosed a non-binding term sheet with AIxCrypto Inc. (AIxC) contemplating a purchase of FFAI common stock, with AIxC indicating an intention to explore digital asset products and potential tokenization of purchased shares, subject to definitive agreements and approvals.
These relationships are described by Faraday Future as part of its broader strategy to connect intelligent vehicles, embodied AI robotics, and digital asset ecosystems.
