One of Lucid’s EVs went 749 miles on just one charge
After a bumper road trip from the Swiss alpine resort town of St. Moritz to Munich in Germany, the California-based carmaker has put some serious distance between itself and its EV competition.
But just how impressive is the Guinness World Record-breaking feat?
In a press release celebrating the achievement — completed over the weekend by British drivers in a Lucid Air Grand Touring model, which starts at $110,000 — Lucid heralded the new record as a “significant milestone,” having raced 100 miles ahead of the previous record, set in a Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ in Japan last month.
As impressive as the feat is, it’s a long way from taking the crown away from combustion engines. According to Guinness World Records, the greatest distance driven on a single tank of fuel is 1,759 miles, achieved in an “unmodified fourth-generation Škoda Superb.”
