The Lucid Air could be the first electric car with over 500 miles of range

Lucid’s range claim is based on testing by FEV, a company that specializes in testing and development of various automotive systems. FEV’s range test was closely modeled on the standardized test used by the Environmental Protection Agency to determine a gasoline car’s fuel economy and an electric car’s range. So it’s expected that the official EPA range should be similar or maybe even slightly higher, a Lucid spokesman said.

California-based Lucid was founded in 2007 and unveiled a concept version of its electric car in 2016. The company originally focused on making electric vehicle batteries before it decided to produce its own car. The company’s battery operations are now a separate division called Atieva, Lucid’s original name, that supplies the batteries used in Formula E race cars.
