Lucid Motors’ Post

This landmark achievement of 5.0 miles per kWh on an EPA cycle has been made possible by an extraordinary effort from our powertrain and efficiency teams. I want to extend my thanks to every one of our employees for pushing the boundaries with yet another step towards a more sustainable future!   Lucid’s mission is to advance the state of the art of EVs, to transport more people more miles with less energy using less of the earth’s precious resources. This will result in less environmental impact and is also the key to paving the way for more affordable EVs.   To put 5.0 miles per kWh into perspective, it’s interesting to draw a comparison between the Lucid Air Pure and the more attainable versions of its competitor set, namely the Porsche Taycan, the Tesla Model S and the Mercedes EQS. These three vehicles collectively average an efficiency of approximately 3.33 miles per kWh, based upon published EPA range and publicly available battery capacities, compared with Lucid Air Pure’s 5.0.    Doing some quick math, this means that with a similar capacity battery pack, the Lucid Air Pure would theoretically be capable of a range approximately 50% further than the average of these three competitors. However, taking the converse approach is where things get really exciting – Air Pure would be theoretically capable of a similar range to the average of the competitor set but with just 2/3 the battery pack capacity. Not all EVs are born equal.    #technology #electricvehicle #evs #lucidmotors #efficiency #innovation 

Efficiency is the future! Less energy required! Evs are approx 90% efficient while gas powered vehicles are around 30% or so

Lucid Motors, a maker of #allelectric #luxurysedans, recently reported its #LucidAirPure model achieved 146 MPGe (#milespergallon of gas equivalent) #EPArating, making it one of the most efficient #electricvehicles on the road today that requires the least amount of #electricenergy. The 2025 modelyear #electricsedan represents another breakthrough toward wider #fleetelectrification and #EVadoption. https://loom.ly/HPPbKY8

Thinking about Switching Your Car from ICE to EV ?  Ever wondered about transforming your old Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle into a sleek Electric Vehicle (EV) ?   Have you ever looked at your car and thought, "What if it could run silently and save the planet?" Well, turning your ICE vehicle into an EV might just be the answer . What are your thoughts on it?   Do you believe converting your current vehicle to an #ev is a more sustainable choice compared to purchasing a brand-new electric vehicle? Considering the advancements in EV technology and potential government incentives, do you think buying a new EV would be a more attractive option than converting your current car? Share your ideas and let's explore this exciting journey together.

Resisting change saps your energy? Change is inevitable but not always welcome and sometimes it’s forced upon us. The move to EV is one of these changes where there are positives and negatives for the change and will need a shift in our mindset to really get the full benefits.

Perceptions of electric cars are radically different depending on who you ask – so what separates EV owners and combustion engine advocates in 2024? CUPRA recently produced a report exploring the opinions of EV owners and non-owners, to shed light on the factors driving this split.

**** Toyota CEO: This New Water Powered Engine Will Destroy the Entire EV Industry! **** If you have a chemical background, will probably wonder how the toyota car will work as it takes a lot of energy to seperate H2 from O2, electrically, then use the H2 to burn in an engine or Feul Cell. But modern developments in Catalysts have reduced the energy needed to seperate the chemical bonds...that is the secret. #internalcombustion #enginetechnology #innovation https://lnkd.in/d-yDqN9r

So simple its brilliant

These reports are filled with deceitful headlines and deliberately false messaging. If my old car did 30 MPG and my Hybrid does 64 then it is SIGNIFICANTLY greener. Note how they try get around this. "Hybrids – especially plug-ins – have been found to produce more emissions and cost more to run than their manufacturers claim" There you go, the last part is the crux here. "than their manufacturers claim" Please point to a single EV that gets the mileages that the manufacturer claims. They will always hide behind caveats such as "dependant on driving style, road conditions and temperature" Hybrid manufacturers provide the same caveats so why are these not mentioned. If you have the intelligence of a gnat and drive like you are escaping the police then no matter what you drive your mileage return will be appalling. Note how they also concentrate purely on PHEV's! A PHEV will ONLY return the quoted MPG IF and only IF you actually charge the EV battery and maximise that. Otherwise it is just a plain Hybrid. So in PHEV mode a Prius PHEV can achieve around 148mpg combined. In pure Hybrid mode +-60-70. THAT is where the discrepancy comes in. WHY aren't they including a standard Hybrid and the delta between the claimed and actual on that ?? Deliberate obfuscation. So why lie. Simple really to distort reality in order to convince you to buy into the current narrative. Fortunately the majority are not stupid, were burned with the last "safe and effective" narrative and this time are not falling into the trap. Hybrids provide exceptional mileages compared to a normal vehicle and PHEV's even better yet. Both give you the surety that you will have ZERO range anxeity, that you don't have to plan a journey, that your car will actually retain its value and in respect of a standard Hybrid that uses NiMH batteries there is ZERO chance of thermal runaway.
