The funds of $587 million it had at the end of March, according to the company, isn’t enough to venture into commercial production and sales of full-size electric pickup.

According to the SEC filing of the company, the management is currently evaluating new sources to raise capital, which includes options such as borrowing amount from its partners or issuing more equity. However, the filing also mentioned that the company has no assurance that such funds will be made available on favorable conditions or at all.
On the current financial ground, Burns has assured investors that Lordstown Motors will at least have $50 million in cash by the end of 2021.
