Exclusive: Lucid Sets Guinness World Record for Longest EV Drive on Single Charge [Video]


Lucid Motors has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest distance driven by an electric vehicle on a single charge, covering 1,205.8 kilometers (749.2 miles) in a Lucid Air Grand Touring.

According to a video that EV had exclusive access to, the drive was completed by Umit Sabanci and Kenneth Schofield (both from the UK), and Fergal McGrath (Ireland), in a Lucid Air GT. That journey — livestreamed by the company’s founder and CEO, William Li — started in Shanghai and ended in Xiamen, along China’s east coast. Powered by dual electric motors, the Air Grand Touring delivers 611 kW (831 PS) of peak output, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds.
