Lordstown Motors to sue former savior Foxconn

Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:RIDE), the Ohio-based electric vehicle (EV) maker, is preparing to sue Foxconn, the Taiwanese manufacturer, if it fails to buy nearly 10% of Lordstown’s shares and pulls out of an investment agreement.

The threat of litigation comes as Lordstown struggles to raise capital and stay in business. Lordstown has faced a long string of capital challenges and internal scandals since becoming publicly traded following a merger with a special purpose acquisition company.
