REUTERS/Hyunjoo Jin/File PhotoNov 8 (Reuters) - Lucid Group Inc (LCID.O) reported a bigger third-quarter loss on Tuesday, as the luxury electric vehicle maker struggled with rising costs to ramp up production.
High prices for battery materials such as lithium, cobalt and nickel, exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, have been eating into margins of electric vehicle makers, hurting their bottom line.
Lucid's revenue rose to $195.5 million in the quarter ended Sept. 30 from $232,000 a year earlier.
The company's net loss for the quarter ended Sept. 30 widened to $670.2 million, or 40 cents per share, from $524.4 million, or 43 cents per share, a year earlier.
