Lucid Motors has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest distance driven by an electric car on a single charge. The Lucid Air Grand Touring traveled 1,205 kilometers from St. Moritz, Switzerland to Munich, Germany without stopping to charge. The drive included alpine roads, highways, and secondary roads. This beats the previous record of 1,045 kilometers set in June 2025 by 160 kilometers.
The Lucid Air Grand Touring is powered by the company’s proprietary electric powertrain. It delivers 831 PS and has a WLTP range of 960 kilometers. It uses as little as 13.5 kWh per 100 kilometers and can reach a top speed of 270 kilometers per hour. The car supports ultra-fast charging, allowing it to add up to 400 kilometers of range in 16 minutes. It seats five and features a spacious interior made from premium materials.
This is the second Guinness World Record involving Lucid and London-based entrepreneur Umit Sabanci. In 2024, Sabanci drove a Lucid Air Grand Touring across nine countries on a single charge, setting the record for most countries visited in a production electric vehicle without recharging.
Sabanci said this new journey builds on that achievement. “When I completed the nine-country trip in 2024, it was just the beginning,” he said. “This new record shows how far electric cars can really go. It’s not just the future. It’s already happening.”
Lucid’s Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Engineer Eric Bach said the record proves Lucid’s lead in EV technology. “Lucid vehicles use less energy and go further than any other EV on the market,” he said.
The Lucid Air Grand Touring is rated at 611 kW, with WLTP-tested ranges between 817 and 960 kilometers. The actual range could vary depending on driving behavior, traffic, road conditions, and weather.
