Embattled EV maker Faraday Future is back from the dead (again) and announced plans to produce a fleet of electric minivans.
One of those vans, called the FX 6, was quietly demonstrated at the CES technology show in Las Vegas in early January.
But no, the company once thought to have beenApple’s car project in disguise is back. Faraday Future is using theCES technology show in Las Vegasthis week to announce plans for a brand rebirth that focuses on cheap electric minivans built with parts shipped from China.
It’s a long way from Faraday’s original plan, which was to build and sell an audacious $309,000 luxury EV called the FF91 – although preorders for that can still seemingly be placed.
Instead, Faraday has launched a spin-off brand called FX, which is tasked with building a range of electric minivans. The first models planned for production include the FX 5 (expected to cost from just $20,000, which is about £16,000) and the FX 6 (starting at $30,000 or about £25,000). These could be offered with two types of powertrain, Faraday Future says, with fully-electric versions and a range-extended option, where a small engine acts as an onboard generator to top up the battery.

As well as all that, Faraday also plans to launch a plush new electric minivan called the FX Super One in the second quarter of 2025. It describes the vehicle as “the first-ever first class AI-MPV in the US,” and adds how it hopes it’ll be “targeted to be a top mobility choice for visionaries and theory familiars and fill a market gap”.

The company doesn’t expand much on what role artificial intelligence (AI) will play, but its goal of producing a high-end electric minivan is actually a sound one. Celebrities no longer book a stretched limo when they want to head into town, or be collected from a concert. But instead they’re increasingly drawn to plush vans like the Mercedes V-Class, which offer a decent tide, plus space for their entourage, shopping and, well, whatever else celebrities tend to travel with. There’s likely a market for diplomatic and executive transportation too.
There’s no price for the Super One yet, but we can imagine it’ll be positioned well clear of the rest of the FX van range, potentially closing in on the six-figure mark in the US.
Will a fleet of electric vans be enough to save Faraday Future? Or will it once again disappear into obscurity? We’re looking forward to finding out.
