Lucid Group, Inc. set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the longest journey by an electric vehicle (EV) on a single charge last weekend. Covering a range of 1,205km (~749 miles) without charging, the Lucid Air Grand Touring conducted its record-breaking journey between St. Moritz, Switzerland and Munich, Germany, including alpine roads, highways, and secondary roads. Lucid exceeded the previous record for the longest journey of 1,045km set in June 2025 by 160km.
"This range record represents a significant milestone – it's yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines Lucid," says Eric Bach, senior vice president of product and chief engineer at 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."
At the heart of the Lucid Air Grand Touring lies Lucid's advanced proprietary electric powertrain technology. With a WLTP range of 960km and 13.5kWh/100km, the Lucid Air Grand Touring is the range king among electric vehicles by a significant margin. Delivering 831 PS, the sedan reaches a top speed of 270km per hour. Thanks to its ultra-fast charging capability, the battery can gain up to 400km of range in just 16 minutes.
This new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title marks the second successful cooperation of Lucid with Umit Sabanci and his team, a London-based entrepreneur with a passion for setting and breaking GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles. 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 a Lucid Air Grand Touring.
"When I completed the nine-country journey in 2024, it was just the beginning," says Sabanci. "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."
