Less than a year after introducing the FX Super One minivan, Faraday Future is hitting pause. The floundering automaker blamed the move on the vehicle’s 400V architecture, which they deemed uncompetitive.

As for what the future holds, the company isn’t exactly sure. However, they want to pivot to either an 800V architecture or a range-extended powertrain. They said the change would provide “users with stronger product competitiveness and greater value.”

The firm added an 800V architecture would deliver “longer range, faster charging speeds, and superior powertrain efficiency.” Likewise, they praised range-extended vehicles for being “well-suited to extreme-cold winter regions such as the U.S. East Coast.”

A number of EVs have made the transition from 400V to 800V architectures recently including the Mercedes EQS, Polestar 3, and Volvo EX90. However, these are established automakers, while Faraday Future is a penny stock that claims to be an “embodied AI ecosystem company.”

While the FX Super One project is now paused, the company hopes to begin mass production of the updated model in the future. However, this appears to be “subject to securing financing from strategic or medium-to-long-term investors.”

Despite needing funding and not knowing which way they’re going to go, Faraday laid out two delivery timelines. The updated 800V FX Super One would reportedly be faster to arrive as the company expects its “first phase of delivery within 6 to 9 months, second phase of delivery within 12 to 15 months, and third phase of delivery within 21 to 24 months.”

The company didn’t elaborate on these different phases, but said going the range-extended route would take longer as the first phase of delivery would be within 9 to 12 months, while the second would be within 21 to 24 months. The third phase would then come within 24 to 28 months, according to their projections – which have been far off in the past.

Despite sounding like a major failure, Faraday Future tried to spin it as a positive as they said the move enables them to concentrate on their new robotics business during its “critical ramp-up period.” The company added they shipped a total of 68 robots through the end of April.
