Suck it, Tesla!
Comparatively, the current Tesla Model S Long Range gets an EPA range of only 652 kilometers (405 miles). The Mercedes EQS does better at 770 kilometers (478 miles).
According to Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO, Lucid Group:
I’m delighted that our Lucid Air Dream Edition Range is officially accredited with a range of 520 miles by the EPA, a number I believe to be a new record for any EV.
Crucially, this landmark is achieved by Lucid’s world-leading, in-house EV technology, not by simply installing an oversize battery pack.
Our race-proven 900V battery and BMS technology, our miniaturized drive units, coupled with our Wunderbox technology endow Lucid Air with ultra-high efficiency, enabling it to travel more miles from less battery energy. The next generation EV has truly arrived.
