FX Strategy to Seize “Four Blue Ocean Markets” Opportunities in the U.S. AIEV Market

The FX brand ushers a new chapter for the Company by aiming to fill the huge gaps in the U.S. AIEV market. With an asset-light operational model, FX could achieve its goals in a relatively short time frame and relatively low development cost by bringing in a series of well-established products and have a robust U.S. manufacturing capability, targeting a price range that many EV manufacturers do not cover in the U.S. market, which has several millions of vehicles sold per year. The Company believes there are significant gaps in the U.S. AIEV market that AI-MPVs and the FX 5 and FX 6 can fill.

Together, the FF and FX brands could create synergies by mutual empowerment, driving greater impact in the marketplace. Since the Company launched the FX strategy on September 19 last year, the overall FX strategy has become better understood by FF’s potential partners, investors and the industry. Ultimately, the FX strategy is to promptly seize the four historic blue ocean opportunities in the U.S. with potential partners.

The four blue ocean markets identified by FX are:

  • Range extended vehicles, being brought to market largely due to lack of infrastructure.
  • Intelligent vehicles, vehicles defined as your mobile living space.
  • Great AIEV products under $40,000.
  • Luxury AI-MPVs, a new product category in the U.S. market.

For these blue ocean markets, there are great opportunities for FX. FX intends to leverage its product and technical expertise on AI, Software and Internet Applications, especially with the product excellence of 3rd aiSpace and FF aiDriving of the FF 91. FX will seek to collaborate with OEM and supplier partners on mechanical expertise and global supply chain with high quality and lower cost. FF’s existing knowledge and practice on the U.S. supply chain base, regulatory and certification, production at its Hanford ieFactory, and innovative sales and aftersales capabilities will be key elements for execution success.

FX Super One: The first-ever First Class AI-MPV in the U.S., targeted to be a top mobility choice for visionaries and their families and fill a market gap

FX has made incredible strides in recent months. Beyond the two initial prototype development mules arriving, the Company has also secured $60 million through two rounds of financing commitments since September 2024, helping support the execution of the FX strategy. Now, the Company officially introduces FX’s first planned AI-MPV product—the FX Super One.

With a slogan of “AI First Class for the Visionary and Family”, the FX Super One stands for First Class, Super AI, and Super Ability for Visionaries and Family. This vehicle not only defines a new market category—the First Class AI-MPV—but also fills a structural gap in the U.S. market, transforming mobility demands and experiences. This would be the first-ever First Class AI-MPV in the U.S.

This groundbreaking vehicle will meet the dynamic and diverse needs of visionaries and their families, combining versatility with unparalleled experience. It is set to break and bridge the boundaries of mobility experience, bringing users an unprecedented first-class AI mobility journey.

FX Super One is designed to cater to both leaders and visionary groups, represented by celebrities, stars, and high-profile business professionals across various industries, also as a top mobility choice for their families. It merges personal use and family needs. The FX Super One stands out for its unique ability to seamlessly integrate these diverse mobility and lifestyle needs, redefining mobility by delivering unparalleled First Class AI-MPV experience with versatile applications.

The FX Super One would bring exceptional product power and an extreme price-performance ratio, targeting the untapped First Class AI-MPV market in the U.S. This unique combination positions the FX Super One to have a commanding presence both within its own market segment and across categories. By providing users with a private and exclusive First Class AI-MPV that delivers “Twice the Performance at Half the Price,” the FX Super One redefines personalized luxury and could become a breakout success in the U.S. auto market.

For the U.S. AIEV industry, FX Super One creates an entirely new category with unparalleled user value, filling structural market gaps. By boosting the entire industrial and value chain, it aims to act as a catalyst for the U.S. AIEV sector.

Targeting to share more progress of FX 6 in March and roll off the first vehicle in 2025

The FX Series 5 and Series 6 products are also planned. The FX 5, a large-space sporty AIEV with an expected price range between $20,000 and $30,000, targeting the mainstream market. And the FX 6, an extra-large luxury AIEV with an expected price range between $30,000 and $50,000, targeting families. The Company also showed a teaser shot of the FX 6 prototype, with more progress to be shared in March. The FX 5 and FX 6 models could offer two types of powertrains: range-extended AIEV and battery-electric AIEV.

Subject to securing necessary funding and necessary agreements with potential partners, FX is targeting the end of 2025 for the first vehicle to roll off the line. Together with potential partners, the Company will work tirelessly to achieve this goal.

FX intends to introduce an innovative approach with light assets, light marketing, light sales and co-creation. This includes building a fully online direct sales ecosystem that includes user acquisition and user management.

The Company welcomed the first two FX prototype mules to its Los Angeles headquarters, which were then sent to Las Vegas to support the Company’s FX update that ran in parallel with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The next steps for FX includes a pilot build at the Hanford facility to allow more test and development work to occur, upgrading the Hanford plant to accommodate FX series production, and conducting early certification and regulatory-related tests, as well as preparation for road tests for durability, and ride and handling purposes. Sourcing and supplier confirmation are planned as well.

FX Super One is gearing up for comprehensive testing and modified part development. Invitations will soon be extended to Visionary and Family Co-Creation Officers to join the journey. In this second quarter of 2025, the Company expects to host the product launch and share more details.

“2025 will be a year for working hard, working smart with laser focus and ultimately prosperity for FX and FF. FF has made it so far, with the never give up and fighting spirit, as well as the great progress of FX so far, we believe 2025 will be the starting point for FF’s 2nd curve,” said Xiao (Max) Ma, Global CEO of Faraday X. “We also expect to make tangible progress on FX product development, testing and validation, supply chain enhancement and manufacturing preparedness towards securing the first FX vehicle pre-production model off the line by the end of this year.”

FX Logo: A Design that Blends Inheritance and Innovation

Last October, FF kicked off a nearly month-long global design contest for the FX logo, receiving 532 submissions from 129 “Futurist fans.” Today we announced a new symbol, resembling the mathematical infinity sign, and presented in a horizontal “8” shape, as the brand logo for FX.

This design takes the two lines from the FF apex positioning, shifts them downward, and recombines them to form a horizontal figure eight—reminiscent of a M�bius strip and the infinity symbol in mathematics. Combined with the formula Y=f(x), it conveys how FF and FX empower each other, driving the result Y toward infinity. The new logo represents FF’s empowerment of FX while distinguishing it from FF—indicating FX’s focus on the broader mass market. The two blocks forming the logo also represent how FX collaborates with a range of partners to achieve shared success.

The first-place winner in the design contest will receive an FX co-creation contract valued at $30,000. Fifteen additional winners will receive an FX brand merchandise package. Furthermore, all U.S. participants who successfully submitted a qualified design will receive a $100 voucher that can be used toward reserving an FX vehicle.
