- The journey covered St. Moritz in Munich without a single loading stop
- The trip included roads, highways and secondary roads
- Attempt improved the previous record of almost 100 miles
Lucid now has an official Trophy for World Records Guinness to add to his office, because his airline model managed to travel a little less than 749 miles on a single load during his trips to public roads.
The record trip started in St. Moritz, Switzerland and finished in Munich, Germany, with the trip to the winding mountain passes, fast road sections and narrow secondary roads in a real demonstration of the real range.
Lucid is already considered one of the main figures for the efficiency of electric vehicles, the large aerial tour with an official range of light vehicle test test harmonized in the world (596 miles), but it still manages to deliver some 831 hp and a top speed of almost 170 mph.
The entrepreneur based in London, a hyper-generous legend and owner of the strongest bladder in the world, Umit Sabanci, was driving for this attempt, having previously established a Guinness World Record for most countries visited on a single load in a production battery vehicle, crossing nine countries in 2024.

Lucid says that the efficiency of Sabanci broke the previous record of around 100 miles and added 237 miles of mind to the official WLTP range of the vehicle.
This was made possible by a very sensitive driving, but also with a selection of intelligent roads, the trip starting effectively at the top of the Alps and ending a good 4,300 feet less in Munich.
The intensive use of regenerative braking would have helped maintain the 112kWh monster batteries. Although Lucid wishes to emphasize that its charging technology can add an impressive range of 248 miles in just 16 minutes of the appropriate fast charge, for those who do not wish to travel nearly 750 miles in one.
Lucid opens the way to the efficiency of electric vehicles
The manufacturer of American electric vehicles has clearly used intelligent itinerary planning to achieve this record feat, but nothing should be removed from the dedication of the company to the performance and efficiency of electric vehicles.
Lucid is one of the few to design and produce most of its components of the powertrain, with a laser focused on the creation of an aerodynamic vehicle as light and efficient as possible.
The pure air, for example, was one of the first electric vehicles to boast of an enviable note of the energy efficiency of 5 miles per kWh – you will be lucky if you get more than 3 miles per kWh in most modern electric cars.
However, this technology is currently reserved for the richest of the company, with air prices ranging from $ 69,900 to more than $ 169,000 in the United States.
The company said it planned to produce a more affordable version of its gravity SUV of $ 79,900 (around £ 59,000 / 121,000 in the nearby future, which will be based on a new medium-sized platform and will provide the same type of range as competitors, but with a much smaller battery.
This will allow him to compete with Tesla, offering Lucid’s renowned yields to a fraction of the price of the current range.
