Lucid Motors advertises the Air as the “longest range, fastest charging luxury EV in the world” — that’s the Air in a nutshell. If you have the money to spend, this is worth it for the 516 mile range alone. The specs on this car make it the stuff of dreams: 1,200 hp, acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in under two seconds, and super quick charging. Compared to other electric vehicles, and even other luxury vehicles, the price tag is hefty. However, the attention to detail in all aspects of the Lucid Air, from the 21-speaker system to sustainably sourced Nappa leather interiors, places it a cut above the rest. 

The Lucid Air Grand Touring and the Lucid Air Touring offer dual-motor all-wheel drive types at price points of $154,000 and $107,400, respectively. The Lucid Air Pure starts at $87,400 with the option to upgrade to dual-motor all-wheel drive. The Air comes with a built-in, superfast Wunderbox boost charger that works at almost all public charging stations. It can fill up your Air with up to 300 miles of charge in about 22 minutes.
