Lucid Owners - Lucid Motors Forum

There are many threads on this website about range, theoretical versus actual. I suggest you poke around a bit… There's a lot to learn.

A lot of factors contribute to EV range. One of the biggest is the style of driving. Drive with a lead foot, excessive sprinting, starts and stops, air conditioner running--these are range eaters. The estimated range is based upon ideal conditions. Temperature affects the range, e.g. if you live in an area with cold, snowy winters, your range will be reduced during this season. Typically one charges an EV to 80% of battery capacity as this will help preserve battery function. This, of course, means that one will only at best achieve 80% of the range. Some folks have taken a Lucid Air for over 687 miles on one charge, but they are hyper-miling by driving at slow speeds on an very flat track. As they say, your mileage may vary.

When I fully charge my car only shows 469 miles; that’s all I’m going to get. My battery never charges to 516 which means I will never be able to drive 516 miles range
