DOES THE LUCID GRAVITY LIVE UP TO ITS 450 MILE EPA RANGE RATING?

EV Channels Review

The Lucid Gravity Grand Touring's 70 mph highway range test yielded a disappointing 345 miles, significantly short of its 450-mile EPA rating. While the reviewer acknowledges suboptimal conditions including cool weather (50s Fahrenheit) and wind, the primary concern is a suspected rear drive unit malfunction, which Lucid engineers identified post-test. The vehicle also reportedly had rear climate control active. Despite these issues, the reviewer notes the Gravity's impressive power (828 hp) and quiet, smooth highway ride, comparing favorably to other large EVs. Charging is highlighted as a strong point, with 0-80% achievable in under 30 minutes. However, the inability to access the full 123 kWh usable battery capacity and the discovery of a potential drive unit fault cast a shadow over the initial range test. Lucid has offered a follow-up test with a different vehicle, potentially in a warmer climate, to ascertain the Gravity's true range potential.
