Ive already driven theLucid Air Pure, but it was only for a single day.
Its classified as a luxury EV, but the entry price youll need to shell out is $69,900.

Thats a lot, but not unobtainable with todays crop of luxury EVs.
Spoiler alert: its not one to overlook!
And surprisingly enough, I get to test the base version of the Lucid Air Pure.

Best of all, it proves that EVs can be long-distance marathon runners.
Just as important, I charged the Lucid Air Pure at home withLevel 1 charging.
This calculates to a rate of around 4.91 mi/hr.
The entire sequence kicks off with the Lucid logo on the front bumper as it begins to glow.
With its 4.3 mi/kWh efficiency, it sets a benchmark for all other EVs going forward.
By comparison, the 4-doorBMW i4 M50 Gran Coupegave me an efficiency of 2.9 mi/kWh.
Sadly though, the vast majority only offered storage that was probably enough to store their Level 1 chargers.
The only thing missing is an electronic mechanism, which would’ve been an extra treat.
Spacious interior
The Lucid Air Pure is deceptively spacious.
Just look at the photo above to see how much room there is.
There are very few physical buttons around, so its dominated by a lot of displays around the dashboard.
Most notably, I love the smaller retractable pilot panel screen underneath the main dashboard.
Yes, the sensors are enough to alert me when theres a vehicle in my blind spot.
The video looks choppy at about 15 to 25 frames per second from my guess.
Its made worse at night though when the video quality gets even noisier.
But I know there are others who still prefer the traditional driving experience.
Meaning, when you let go of the pedal, you will instantly feel the car braking.
