LUCID AIR SAPPHIRE 10% ROAD TRIP CHALLENGE! THE NEW NORTH CAROLINA LOOP IS AMAZING

EV Channels Review

The Lucid Air Sapphire undergoes the 10% road trip challenge, aiming to quantify its long-distance capability beyond its track-focused performance. The test involves charging for 15 minutes and then driving at 80 mph until the battery reaches 10% again. The reviewer highlights the Sapphire's impressive charging speed, peaking at over 300 kW, and its luxurious, quiet, and comfortable ride, complemented by decent driver assistance features. However, the vehicle's efficiency at 80 mph is noted as a drawback, achieving 2.56 miles per kWh and covering 126 miles. While this is considered an acceptable road trip range, it falls short of expectations for a Lucid product and is less efficient than some competitors. The reviewer suggests that a Grand Touring trim would likely perform better in terms of efficiency and range. Despite the efficiency concerns, the Sapphire is praised for its overall road trip suitability, especially with the new, ideal testing loop in North Carolina.
