Lucid Air Grand Touring Obliterates EV Range Record

749 Miles Without Charging

Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player...

TLDR: The Lucid Air Grand Touring shattered the EV range record with an astonishing 749-mile journey on a single charge, beating the Mercedes EQS450+ by 100 miles. While the 4,300-foot elevation drop certainly helped, this achievement showcases Lucid’s engineering prowess and could accelerate mainstream EV adoption.


The Lucid Air just redefined what’s possible in electric vehicle range. On July 8, 2025, a Grand Touring model earned official Guinness World Records certification after traveling an unprecedented 1,205 kilometers (749 miles) on a single charge between St. Moritz, Switzerland and Munich, Germany.
