1. Lucid Air: 516 miles
Lucid Motors
But a couple of years ago a new top dog emerged that beat Musk’s best tech by a huge margin, and that’s Lucid Motors.
Helmed by the former top engineer for the Model S, the California startup has come out with some of the most technologically impressive electric cars ever to hit the US market. It only has one model right now — the Air sedan — but it’s available at several prices and range estimates.
The $138,000 Air Grand Touring provides 516 miles of range, plus a whopping 1,050 horsepower and 2.6-second 0-60-mph time. Lucid says only 12 minutes plugged into a fast-charger yields 200 miles of range.
Even the entry-level Air Pure trounces Tesla with 410 miles of EPA range. It’s cheaper too, starting at $87,400.
