Damn Lucid! My efficiency just …

[hmp10]

Lower right corner of the pilot panel has a Trip button that shows "since last charge" and two resettable counters. That info doesn't make its way into the app at all currently.

The efficiency rate used to be displayed in the left side of the driver binnacle, and it was very useful to have it there on a trip. I don't know why Lucid chose to move it into a submenu on the Pilot Panel, other than to make it more difficult to observe. Not one of their most customer-friendly moves.

Maybe Lucid wants you to have fun?

2023 air gt stealth package ~40k miles avg efficiency 3.31. Just replaced tires for the first time which I felt wasn’t horrible considering the weight of the vehicle. They had another 10k in them but I had plugged each tire once already so time to go!

My previous gt had the 19’s and man efficiency goes closer to 3.7 to. 3.9

The test vehicle that was used was an Air Pure, but I believe I can safely extrapolate their results to my 2022 GT, 19” tyres. To achieve the EPA rated range of 516 miles, I would have to drive at 49 mph:

There are so many inaccuracies in that article.

Steady-state driving in an EV is the worst-case scenario for range, because there's no ability to coast or use regenerative braking to harvest energy and boost consumption

This is not how physics works. Steady-state driving is the best-case scenario in any moving object (aside from stopping and going nowhere). An EV can coast, even with one-pedal driving. Just be more careful with the throttle. Or disable OPD opportunistically if you really want to hypermile. Don't know what they're talking about there.

This is part of the reason EVs tend to get much lower range figures on our 75-mph highway range test than their EPA range figures, because even the EPA highway cycle includes a lot of speed changes that EVs can use to recoup energy.

No, EVs get lower range figures on their 75mph highway range test than the EPA range figures because they're going 75mph.

Based on our previous highway range tests on Lucids, we already knew the company is very aggressive in its label values for its vehicles, and this is further evidence.

Once again, that has nothing to do with Lucid. Lucid follows a procedure defined by the EPA. KIA follows a different procedure defined by the EPA. Why does the EPA define two very different procedures to confuse buyers? Why do the EPA procedures not reflect real world average speeds in the US? Why does the EPA keep changing their procedures without fixing these things or making it clear, to confuse buyers when comparing between model years?

For real results in a 2022 GT see:

EPA is definitely achievable.

There are so many inaccuracies in that article...

Other than the actual data in the article, it was pretty much unintentionally hilarious.

GT has so much range I stopped caring about efficiency

I use 16% for 100km commute at 138kmh with 45c OAT.
