Lucid beats previous record by 160km without charging
DUBAI: Lucid Group, Inc. has made history, setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest journey by an electric car on a single charge.
The record-breaking trip, covering 1,205 kilometres, was completed by the Lucid Air Grand Touring last weekend. The car travelled between St. Moritz in Switzerland and Munich, Germany, without a single charging stop.
Navigating through a mix of alpine climbs, highways and secondary roads, the Lucid Air outperformed the previous record of 1,045 kilometres set in June 2025, surpassing it by a margin of 160 kilometres. The journey demonstrated not just battery capacity but also efficiency, endurance and cutting-edge automotive engineering.
Lucid set another @GWR title for the history books.
