You're viewing a single thread.
the Lucid Air Grand Touring traveled from St. Moritz, Switzerland, to Munich, Germany on a single charge, traversing 1,205 km, or 749 miles.
No mention of the battery size or the average speed maintained over that distance.
Apparently it has a
WLTP-tested range between 817 and 960 km
So it's safe to assume they went reaaaly slow
And it was mostly downhill.
Just looked up the numbers, the height difference is 1300 meters. St. Moritz is at 1822 meters altitude, Munich at 520 meters.
Thats about one meter of height per kilometer in distance - or about 7 kWh that need not be supplied by the batteries.
