The Lucid Air Grand Touring Sets a New Record for Electric Vehicles with 1,205 Kilometers on a Single Charge

Lucid Air Grand Touring Breaks Record for Longest Range on a Single Charge

In a remarkable achievement for electric vehicle technology, the Lucid Air Grand Touring has secured a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the longest journey covered by an electric vehicle on a single charge. On this record-setting journey, the Grand Touring traveled an astonishing 1,205 kilometers (approximately 749 miles) without needing a single charging stop, outperforming the previous record of 1,045 kilometers set just a month earlier.

The impressive trip started in St. Moritz, Switzerland, and ended in Munich, Germany, navigating a diverse range of terrains that included alpine roads, highways, and smaller routes. This blend of driving conditions put the vehicle's efficiency and power to the ultimate test. "This range record signifies a significant milestone—it showcases the technological superiority that Lucid stands for," stated Eric Bach, Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Engineer at Lucid.

Innovation at Its Core

At the heart of the Lucid Air Grand Touring is an advanced proprietary electric powertrain that pushes the boundaries of what electric vehicles can achieve. With a WLTP range estimated at 960 kilometers and energy consumption rated at an impressive 13.5 kWh/100 km, the vehicle has garnered a reputation as the leader in electric vehicle range by a considerable margin. The Grand Touring version boasts a powerful 831 PS and can reach speeds up to 270 kilometers per hour.

Fast charging technology is another highlight. The vehicle can gain an astounding 400 kilometers of range in just 16 minutes, making it an exceptionally efficient option for those seeking performance without the long wait times associated with traditional EV charging.

A Legacy of Records

This record-breaking achievement isn't Lucid's first collaboration with entrepreneur Umit Sabanci, who has a passion for setting GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS milestones. In 2024, Sabanci already made headlines by visiting nine countries in just a single charge aboard a Lucid Air Grand Touring. This new record not only builds on that success but also cements both Lucid and Sabanci's status as icons in the world of electric endurance records.

"Completing the nine-country journey in 2024 was just the beginning. This new achievement maximizes the journey we embarked on last year. I feel proud to be part of this revolution that proves electric mobility is not just the future; it's already redefining what we believe is possible today," Sabanci commented.
