Lucid claims its Air Pure electric sedan is the most efficient EV ever made


Spoiler: it’s the new heat pump and lighter battery.

Lucid claims it’s achieved a “landmark” 5 miles-per-kilowatt-hour efficiency with its 2025 Air Pure electric sedan, making it one of the most energy-efficient vehicles ever produced. Lucid is taking a risk that luxury EV shoppers will care as much about abstract specs like efficiency and MPGe as they do about more dependable premium features like leather seats and expensive stereos. The Lucid Air Pure’s place at the top of the efficiency heap could also be short-lived as other luxury automakers like Mercedes-Benz are also developing their own hyper-efficient EVs.
