A Lucid Motors' prototype on display at the Arizona Capitol in November 2016.

A major cash investment, made via the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, intends to provide needed capital to allow Lucid Motors to complete its Arizona manufacturing facility.

The long-awaited, high performance electric car, the Lucid Air, is scheduled to go into production by 2020.

Andrew Hawkins, who’s been writing about this for The Verge, joined The Show to talk about what this means for the state and the electric car industry.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
