Faraday Future announced securing $25 million in new financing as the company continues its push into robotics, bringing total funding raised over the past two months to $70 million. Faraday Future secured $45 million in financing in April, with $15 million immediately available and the remaining funds tied to future installments.
The California-based company said the financing came through convertible promissory notes issued to investors. Half of the proceeds will be immediately available for operations, while the remaining funds will be released upon meeting specified conditions. According to Faraday Future, the latest funding is expected to support the first phase of its Embodied AI strategy through the end of 2026.
Faraday Future is expanding beyond electric vehicles to focus on humanoid and bionic robotics systems as well as AI-enabled automotive robots. The company said demand across applications including education, security inspection, guided tours and research contributed to raising its full-year shipment target to 1,500 units. The company unveiled its first humanoid and quadruped robots in February and in April had set a goal of delivering 1,000 robots by the end of the year.
According to Faraday Future, the company is pursuing an ecosystem strategy centered on devices, data and AI models with the goal of using deployed systems to collect information, improve performance and support future products.
The financing also marks a potential shift in strategy. Faraday Future said the additional capital gives it greater flexibility to move away from short-term funding approaches and toward longer-term financing tied to partnerships, operations and future growth.
