The plan to bring Lucid electric cars to car rental offices comes as Saudi Arabia experiences a surge in the use and demand for electric vehicles.
The rollout of Lucid rental cars goes hand in hand with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 plan, spearheaded by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aims to reduce its carbon footprint, diversify its non-oil economy and embrace a more sustainable future.
The country is also rolling out the infrastructure to keep up with electric car demand, like charging stations across the Kingdom.
