What range anxiety? Electric Lucid Air snags a record 520-mile per charge EPA rating

Lucid’s Air Dream Edition Range can go as far as 520 miles per charge, the longest range of any battery-powered vehicle on the market.Tesla has set the standard for advanced electric vehicles for a decade, but upstart Lucid wants to change that. Led by the former chief engineer for Tesla’s breakthrough Model S, Lucid said two versions of its luxury Air sedan are certified as delivering more than 500 miles per charge—the best on the market and over 100 miles more than Tesla’s longest-range cars.

Lucid said the Air Dream Edition Range with 19-inch wheels goes 520 miles per charge, while the Air Grand Touring sedan, also with 19-inch wheels, gets 516 miles per charge, based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tests. Elon Musk had promised Tesla would deliver a “Plaid Plus” version of Model S that would also go 520 miles per charge, but canceled it in June. Currently, the Long Range Model S, which gets 405 miles per charge, is the company’s range leader.

The premium Lucid cars, priced at $169,000 and $139,000, respectively, achieve high power and long range as a result of efficient battery packs, compact motors and lightweight components that Peter Rawlinson, the company’s CEO and CTO, says are the industry’s most advanced. Real-world range per charge has been an issue for electric vehicles for decades, particularly in the early 2010s when public charging infrastructure wasn’t widely available. That gave rise to “range anxiety” concerns, the fear drivers would be left stranded when their batteries ran low. Years of improved batteries and better technology have led to numerous EV models that deliver 300 miles per charge or more, along with much-improved charging networks, helping to eliminate range anxiety.

“Crucially, this landmark has been achieved by Lucid’s world-leading in-house EV technology, not by simply installing an oversize battery pack,” Rawlinson said in a statement. “The next-generation EV has truly arrived!”

What Range Anxiety? Electric Lucid Air Snags Record 520-Mile Per Charge EPA RatingLed by the former chief engineer for Tesla’s breakthrough Model S, two versions of Lucid’s luxury sedan are certified as delivering over 100 miles more range per charge than any EV on the market. Tech EVs are already better and competitive range-wise compared to gasoline. I believe the bigger challenge for making them mainstream is about: 1. Accessible charging stations much like fuel stations. 2. Quicker charge time (more like 60% in 30 minutes) think smartphones.
