Lucid absolutely smashes Guinness World Record for the longest EV drive on a single charge
Let me throw two terms at you: inadequate public charging infrastructure and range anxiety. Any guesses what I'm talking about? Yup, the Achilles heel of electric vehicles. Solve these, and you're probably looking at widespread EV adoption.
With a net elevation decrease of just over 1,310 m (about 4,300 ft) throughout the drive, the EV most certainly benefited from regenerative braking, a rather useful feature that turns downhill momentum back into battery power. Lucid has yet to release official data like average speed or total drive time, but what is apparent is that this was not a high-speed dash but rather a well-planned route to achieve one impressive result. He last partnered with the company in June 2024 when he broke the record driving to the most countries without recharging, traveling 912 km (567 miles) south through the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, and Italy.
