在2014年，北汽入股该公司，并成为其第一大股东。未来北汽将进行整车的代工和生产，而Atieva则负责提供核心技术。此前，还发布了概念车Lucid Vision的官图。

Another large shareholder in Atieva is China’s LeTV, which cooperates with BAIC in making electric ‘connected’ cars in China. LeTV’s is also backing Faraday Future, a still somewhat mysterious company that has announced a one-billion dollar factory in Nevada and an electric concept car in January.

Faraday is backed by Chinese billionaire Jia Yeuting, owner of LeTV, a fabulously successful enterprise known as “the Chinese Netflix.” Now, China’s state-owned auto company BAIC says its Beijing Electric Car Company division has bought a majority interest in Atieva, the San Francisco–based operation that says, “We’re redefining what a car can be by building an iconic new vehicle from the ground up. We’re a car company, not a design house. And we’re definitely not a traditional automaker.”
