Faraday Future Has Retained Anthony Rendon, PhD, Speaker Emeritus of the California State Assembly as a Strategic Advisor, With a Focus on Government Affairs, Policy and Regulatory Issues

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or the “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced that it has retained Anthony Rendon, PhD, Speaker Emeritus of the California State Assembly, as a strategic advisor for FF, with a focus on government affairs, policy and regulatory issues, including lobbying and overall state and federal-focused government support for the Company. Mr. Rendon was sworn in as Speaker on March 7, 2016, and served until June 30, 2023, making him the second-longest serving Speaker in California history.

Mr. Rendon’s involvement is expected to enhance FF’s credibility, promote constructive dialogues with decision-makers, and help support ongoing discussions related to trade, tariffs, and sector-specific policy issues.

Mr. Rendon was part of a 2021 resolution in California that called for 100% zero-emission new vehicle sales by 2030 and pointed out several benefits of electric vehicles for the world and for California specifically. This makes him an ideal advocate for FF to help push the Company into its next stage of growth as it prepares to launch new EV and hybrid-powered products under the FX brand and assembled in California.

“I’m extremely honored and excited to join forces with a company such as FF, as they enter their next stage of growth with their FX brand. They are a true pioneer in the global new energy industry,” said Rendon. “California has consistently been a staunch supporter of global new energy initiatives, and as the world’s fifth-largest economy, the state boasts a comprehensive green policy framework and unwavering belief in free trade and global collaboration. FF’s ‘Sino-American Automotive Industry Bridge’ strategy exemplifies the globalization and open cooperation spirit we advocate. FF has invested over $3 billion in California, focusing on the research, development, and manufacturing of next-generation Artificial Intelligence Electric Vehicles (AIEVs). This endeavor not only represents a commercial breakthrough but also underscores America’s forward-looking leadership in the field of new energy mobility.”
