Overview

  • The Lucid Air Grand Touring drove from St. Moritz through Austria to Munich, covering 1,205 km on a single charge with significant elevation changes that boosted efficiency.
  • Guinness World Records has officially confirmed the run as the longest distance by an electric car on one charge, surpassing Mercedes’ 1,045 km mark set in June.
  • Lucid credits its ultrahigh-voltage architecture and advanced battery management system for achieving an extra 160 km beyond the previous record.
  • Analysts note that despite a WLTP rating of 960 km, real-world driving in varied conditions will yield substantially shorter ranges.
  • With just over 500 Lucid EVs registered in Germany and entry prices near €130,000, experts see the record chiefly as a marketing demonstration rather than a practical benchmark.
