Until now the uncontested leader in terms of range, Tesla will soon be in competition with market newcomer Lucid Motors. The manufacturer, which like Tesla is also an American all-electric specialist, has announced a range of 830km on a single charge for its future Air sedan. However, in the run-up to the launch of the Air on September 9 and its availability in showrooms in 2021, Tesla will continue to dominate all-electric range rankings.
With an announced range of 517km (a figure that should be treated cautiously), Lucid may be about to write a new chapter in the history of all-electric automobiles. However, for the moment, the ranking for range is dominated by Tesla and in particular the Tesla model S, which scored highest in the world harmonized light-duty vehicles test procedure (WLTP).
