Lucid has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest journey by an electric car on a single charge after an Air Grand Touring managed to cover a distance of 1,205 km. According to the company, the electric vehicle (EV) conducted its record-breaking journey between St. Moritz, Switzerland and Munich, Germany, covering alpine roads, highways and secondary roads.
At 1,205 km, the Air Grand Touring beats the previous record of 1,045 km set by Japanese automotive site webCG with a Mercedes-Benz EQS450+ in June 2025 – this was only announced on July 3.
The Air Grand Touring features a two electric motors for all-wheel drive and a total system output of 830 PS (819 hp or 611 kW) and 1,200 Nm of torque. Power comes from a nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery with a gross energy capacity of 117 kWh (112 kWh usable) that enables a WLTP-rated range of 960 km. With its 900-volt electrical architecture, the EV supports DC fast charging up to 300 kW, while slower AC charging is capped at 19.2 kW.
“This range record represents a significant milestone – it’s yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines Lucid. Our Lucid products combine world class vehicle efficiency with the most advanced drive units, ultra-high voltage architecture and battery management technology available today, which lets a Lucid travel further with less energy than any other vehicles,” said Eric Bach, senior vice president of product and chief engineer at Lucid.
Lucid turned to Umit Sabanci, a London-based entrepreneur with a passion for setting and breaking Guinness World Records titles, and his team to achieve the feat. In 2024, Sabanci set the record for the most countries visited on a single charge in a production battery electric vehicle, crossing nine countries – also in an Air Grand Touring.
“When I completed the nine-country journey in 2024, it was just the beginning. This new achievement takes that journey even further. I’m proud to be part of a movement that proves electric mobility isn’t just the future; it’s already redefining what’s possible today,” commented Sabanci.
