Geely to produce the Faraday Future FF91 sedan in China
Faraday Future, a global shared intelligent mobility ecosystem company based in California, USA, is making significant strides in the electric vehicle industry. The company, known for its innovative technology and advanced vehicles, recently announced progress in technical cooperation with Geely Holding Group [1].
Geely remains an investor in Faraday Future, reflecting ongoing financial ties between the two companies [2]. On January 29, the two entities signed a cooperation framework agreement, marking a new chapter in their collaboration [3].
Faraday Future's product lineup includes the FF 91, FF 81, and FF 71. The FF 91, the most high-end model, is equipped with a 130 kWh battery pack featuring immersed liquid battery cooling technology and boasts a maximum power of 1050 horsepower [4]. It also features three-motor electric vector torque and independent rear-wheel double-motors for enhanced control and steering.
The FF 91 offers a host of advanced technologies, including super mobile AP for "light speed" Internet connection, co-driver streaming video display technology, a rear intelligent Internet system, an in-car video conference system, and intelligent seamless entry technology with FFID face recognition technology [5]. It also includes blind control technology and a zero-gravity seat with a maximum elevation angle of 150 degrees.
Geely, on the other hand, is actively involved in powertrain development and production collaborations, such as its merger of powertrain operations with Renault [6]. However, there is no recent direct update confirming active joint manufacturing or production projects specifically involving Faraday Future and Geely as of mid-2025.
Historically, Faraday Future had plans to establish manufacturing operations in China through partnerships including Geely, with intentions to produce the FF 91 electric vehicle in a Guangzhou free zone plant dedicated to smart equipment and NEVs [7]. This plan, however, has not materialized into large-scale manufacturing as of now.
Faraday Future's current status shows that it is actively progressing with new product launches, particularly the FX Super One, targeting production by late 2025 [1]. The company has also created an ecological o2o direct sales model that integrates online and offline, forming an asset-light sales network [8].
In summary, while Faraday Future and Geely have historical ties and financial links, current information does not confirm ongoing cooperative manufacturing of the FF 91 or other vehicles in China. Faraday Future appears focused on launching the FX brand vehicles independently or through other arrangements at this stage.

Faraday Future continues to invest in technology, as evidenced by the advanced features of their upcoming FX Super One, such as the in-car video conference system and the intelligent seamless entry technology with FFID face recognition technology. Meanwhile, Geely remains an active player in the sports industry, as demonstrated by their powertrain development and production collaborations, including the merger of powertrain operations with Renault.
