EV Channels Review
The 2025 Lucid Air Pure rear-wheel drive model was tested for its 70 mph highway range. Despite being the most efficient EV according to EPA ratings, it fell short of its advertised range, achieving 365.6 miles on an 84 kWh battery. The reviewer averaged 4.4 miles per kWh, significantly less than the 4.85 miles per kWh needed to reach the EPA's 408-mile highway rating. Factors like cold weather (50s-60s Fahrenheit) and headwinds impacted the results, with the reviewer estimating a loss of 15-20 miles due to these conditions. The reviewer praised the Air's comfortable, quiet cabin and excellent driving dynamics on the highway, considering it a strong value proposition at its sub-$70,000 price point, even preferring it over a Tesla Model S. However, the test was marred by traffic, difficulty locating the charging station, and a temporary power-down of the vehicle upon depletion, highlighting the challenges of real-world range testing.
