Faraday Future Intelligent Electric, the electric-vehicle startup, said it will raise up to $600 million in funding. Faraday aims to deliver its FF 91 luxury car later this year. The company will get an initial $52 million of committed funds as part of a new financing facility. Faraday Future's manufacturing facility in California was nearing completion and was testing the FF 91 electric vehicle, the company's Chief Executive Officer Carsten Breitfeld said. The electric-vehicle maker said it was in discussions with investors in the United States and globally for significant additional near-term funding as it looks to start deliveries in the third or fourth quarter. Faraday Future said its head of global supply chain, Mathias Hofmann, will temporarily oversee manufacturing operations at its Hanford, California factory, replacing Vice President of Manufacturing Matt Tall, who will be leaving the company.
