Lucid Group set a new Guinness World Records title for the longest journey by an electric car on a single chargelast weekend.
Covering a range of 749 miles without charging, the Lucid Air Grand Touring conducted its record-breaking journey between St. Moritz, Switzerland, and Munich, Germany, including alpine roads, highways, and secondary roads. Lucid exceeded the previous record for the longest journey of 649 miles set in June by 100 miles.
"This range record represents a significant milestone — it's yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines Lucid," said Eric Bach, senior vice president of product and chief engineer at Lucid. "Our Lucid products combine world-class vehicle efficiency with the most advanced drive units, ultra-high voltage architecture, and battery management technology available today, which lets a Lucid travel further with less energy than any other vehicle."
Lucid’s Record Highlights EV Range Edge
Lucid's advanced proprietary electric powertrain technology is at the heart of the Lucid Air Grand Touring. Delivering 820 horsepower, a WLTP range of 597 miles, and 21.7 kWh per 62 miles, the sedan reaches a top speed of 168 mph. Thanks to its ultra-fast charging capability, the battery can gain up to 249 miles of range in just 16 minutes.
This new Guinness World Records title marks the second successful cooperation of Lucid with Umit Sabanci and his team, a London-based entrepreneur with a passion for setting and breaking Guinness World Records titles. In 2024, Sabanci set the record for the most countries visited on a single charge in a production battery electric vehicle, crossing nine countries in a Lucid Air Grand Touring.
"When I completed the nine-country journey in 2024, it was just the beginning,” Sabanci said in a news release. "This new achievement takes that journey even further. I’m proud to be part of a movement that proves electric mobility isn’t just the future; it’s already redefining what’s possible today."
