According to media reports, the Lucid Air Pure is now the world's most energy-efficient EV.

As per reports, the EV brand has managed to improve the energy efficiency of its Air Pure EV to 5 miles per kWh, resulting in a 146 combined MPGe rating and an estimated range of 420 miles from its 84 kWh battery.

Lucid is said to have achieved this efficiency enhancement by making the EV's heat pump standard across all models - something which was earlier reserved only on the higher trims. The Lucid Air Pure is the EV's base model, sitting below the 'Air Touring' and 'Air Grand Touring' variants and is offered with a starting price of around $70,000.



With the enhancements, the Air Pure now offers a better range than the $79,000 mid-variant Air Touring option - which returns 406 miles. The top-spec Air Grand Touring variant offers 512 miles and is priced at around $110,000.

The Lucid Air Pure beat the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX, which previously held the title with an average of 8.3 miles per kWh. However, the Vision EQXX is a prototype and comes with a larger 100 kWh battery pack. The difference is of course that Lucid is a production EV with a smaller battery pack.

Actually, the referenced article doesn't say that it beats out the EQXX. The EQXX has a nearly 3 Mile/kWh advantage over the Lucid. The difference is that the Lucid is much closer to being a production vehicle in comparison to the EQXX.

Meanwhile ARAI with 465km range from 40kWh Nexon EV LR (87Wh/km)

If Lucid Air is given to ARAI they may make it the first 1000km range EV from it

I would rather give it to Maruti to implement it in their new to be lightened Heartech platform. It would have a true range of 1000+ km.
