Justin @sitkaworldsfair.bsky.social · 04/11/2025@jhelvy.bsky.social this info is about four years out of date for the Lucid Air. You are referencing the initial launch version of the car, which went on sale in Q4 2021. The Lucid Air priced at about $70k has 420 miles of range. A longer-range version is $115k with 512 miles of range. 200
The original Crazy Swiss Engineer (more like 😡😱) @crazyswisseng.bsky.social · 31/10/2025Charging at this rate means these cars ceramic/solid state batteries, even better than LTO. BUT: those 1MW charging stations are few and far between. (More than 100 times what your home electrical system can provide) 100
