Lucid Group, a luxury electric vehicle manufacturer based in Newark, Calif., opened its newest Studio location at The Mall at Short Hills. It is the 22nd site in the company’s expanding North American retail network.

A grand opening celebration will take place at 10 a.m. on Feb. 19.

“Our new Studio in Short Hills will bring significant visibility for the Lucid Air in a state that has expressed its commitment to EVs, and will help us to further our mission to inspire the adoption of sustainable energy,” Zak Edson, Lucid vice president of sales and service, said in a prepared statement. “This location is the first in a series of Studio and service center openings in the Northeast United States, expanding our presence beyond our flagship Studio in Manhattan.”

Under the new National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, New Jersey will have access to $104.4 million to build out an electric vehicle charging network, the U.S. departments of Transportation and Energy announced Feb. 9.

In Lucid’s statement, the company said it “ looks forward to making further investments and hiring in the [New Jersey] as the Legislature considers equitable treatment for consumers and electric vehicle manufacturers in alignment with those efforts.”

The Lucid Air lineup of luxury, high-performance EVs includes the Lucid Air Pure, available from $77,400 ($69,900 with potential federal tax credit); the Lucid Air Touring, which starts at $95,000 ($87,500 with potential credit); and the Lucid Air Grand Touring, starting at $139,000 ($131,500 with potential credit).
