Stock market today: S&P 500 drops for fifth day as focus shifts to Powell’s speech
Investing.com -- Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID) stock jumped 10% after the company announced its Air Grand Touring model set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the longest journey by an electric vehicle on a single charge.
The luxury electric vehicle maker said its car traveled 1,205 kilometers (approximately 749 miles) without charging during a journey between St. Moritz, Switzerland and Munich, Germany. This achievement surpassed the previous record of 1,045 kilometers by 160 kilometers.
"This range record represents a significant milestone – it’s yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines Lucid," said Eric Bach, Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Engineer at Lucid.
The record-breaking Lucid Air Grand Touring features a WLTP range of 960 kilometers and energy consumption of 13.5 kWh/100km, positioning it as a leader in electric vehicle range efficiency. The sedan delivers 831 PS and can reach speeds of up to 270 kilometers per hour. Its ultra-fast charging capability allows the battery to gain up to 400 kilometers of range in just 16 minutes.
This marks the second GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title achieved by Lucid in partnership with London-based entrepreneur Umit Sabanci. In 2024, Sabanci set the record for the most countries visited on a single charge in a production battery electric vehicle, crossing nine countries in a Lucid Air Grand Touring.
Lucid Group, which trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker LCID, markets itself as the maker of "the world’s most advanced electric vehicles."
