MUNICH – The Lucid Air Grand Touring has officially secured a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the longest journey by an electric car on a single charge, traversing an astounding 1,205 kilometers (approximately 749 miles) between St. Moritz, Switzerland, and Munich, Germany. This monumental feat, achieved last weekend, significantly elevates the benchmark for electric vehicle endurance, surpassing the previous record of 1,045 kilometers by a substantial 160 kilometers. The record-setting drive, which navigated a diverse route including alpine roads, highways, and secondary routes, underscores the burgeoning capabilities of advanced EV technology and its readiness for mainstream long-distance travel.

At the core of this unprecedented range lies Lucid's meticulously engineered proprietary electric powertrain technology. Eric Bach, Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Engineer at Lucid, emphasized the company's technological advantage, stating, "This range record represents a significant milestone – it's yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines 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 vehicles." The Lucid Air Grand Touring boasts an impressive WLTP range of 960 kilometers and an efficiency rating of 13.5 kWh/100km, solidifying its status as a leader in electric vehicle efficiency.

The record attempt was executed in collaboration with Umit Sabanci, a London-based entrepreneur renowned for his passion for setting and breaking GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ titles. This marks Sabanci's second successful partnership with Lucid, following his 2024 record for visiting the most countries on a single charge in a production battery electric vehicle, also achieved in a Lucid Air Grand Touring. Sabanci reflected on the achievement, noting, "When I completed the nine-country journey in 2024, it was just the beginning. 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." This consistent performance by the Lucid Air Grand Touring in real-world, demanding conditions provides compelling evidence of its robust design and engineering.

Beyond the headline-grabbing distance, the Lucid Air Grand Touring’s performance highlights critical advancements in battery chemistry, thermal management, and aerodynamic design that are crucial for extending EV range. Its ultra-fast charging capability, allowing for up to 400 kilometers of range to be added in just 16 minutes, further mitigates range anxiety, a key barrier to broader EV adoption. This record not only cements Lucid’s reputation for innovation but also serves as a powerful testament to the rapid maturation of electric vehicle technology, signaling a future where long-distance travel is seamlessly integrated into the electric mobility ecosystem. The achievement is expected to bolster consumer confidence and accelerate investment in high-performance EV platforms.
