The 2021 Lucid Air is inching closer to
its online unveiling on September 9 and the electric vehicle’s range has just
been announced. In a statement, Lucid has confirmed the Air has an estimated
EPA range of 832 km. Lucid says it came to this figure through
independent testing with FEV North America in Auburn Hills, Michigan that
applied the EPA’s Multicycle Test Procedure with the standard adjustment
factory.
With an EPA-estimated range of 517 miles,
the Lucid Air easily eclipses the next highest range of an electric vehicle
sold in the United States, the Tesla Model S Long Range with its EPA range of 647 km.
Lucid has yet to reveal the capacity of
the Air’s battery pack. However, the company says the Air’s battery pack draws
on the expertise the company has gained through its technology division,
Atieva, which supplies the battery packs for the entire field of Formula E
cars.
