Lucid Air
The Lucid Air is a battery electric four-door luxury sedan produced by Lucid Motors. The vehicle was announced in December 2016 and sales began in 2021 as the brand's first car. It has been positively reviewed by critics and is known for its range and performance capabilities.
The Dream Edition's EPA range is estimated at 520 miles (840 km), the longest on the market as of 2024[update]. The production model was unveiled in September 2020, and production began in late 2021.
In November 2020, the Air Pure was announced with 406 miles (653 km) of range and 480 horsepower (360 kW) and a starting price of US$77,400. The range of trim levels includes Pure, Touring, Grand Touring, and Dream Edition.
On September 28, 2021, Lucid announced that production had begun, with the base Pure model introduced in late 2022. Deliveries commenced on October 30, 2021, with the first reservation holders taking delivery of Air Dream Editions in an event in California.
The Air was conceived in the early 2010s, with a prototype unveiled to the public in 2016. The production version was unveiled in September 2020, and production began in 2021.
Lucid contracted with Samsung SDI on December 2, 2016 to supply batteries.
In 2016, Lucid created a delivery van with the prototype of its electric powertrain for the Air using batteries from its former brand, Atieva. Known as "Edna", the delivery van contained two gearboxes, motors producing over 900 hp (670 kW), and an 87 kWh battery pack. Combined with all-wheel drive and other physical and software updates, Edna was able to achieve 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.74 seconds and a 1⁄4 mile (402 m) in 11.3 seconds. According to Lucid, Edna was used to test the real world performance of its powertrain, including "motor control algorithms, regenerative braking behaviors, accelerator pedal feel, and cooling strategies."
In 2018, a modified Air prototype set an EV lap record of 1:41.67 at the Laguna Seca track, beating the Jaguar I-Pace's previous record of 1:48.18 by seven seconds. The prototype Air was equipped with "Pirelli P Zero PZ4 summer tires, modified high temperature brake pads and fluid, a 6-point roll cage and fire suppression system."
