In a rapidly evolving automotive landscape, electric vehicles are increasingly defining the future of transportation. While most headlines celebrate EVs for their impressive acceleration and innovative technologies, not every electric car on the market is built for speed. For many consumers, the primary appeal of an EV lies in its environmental benefits, affordability, and practicality, rather than its ability to race from zero to sixty in record time.

A range of small changes at Lucid Motors and at the Environmental Protection Agency have the effect of making small changes to the estimated ranges of the 2025 Air lineup. Lucid launched the 1,234-horsepower Sapphire with a heat pump, then added the feature to the penultimate Air Grand Touring in 2024. For 2025, the California EV company makes the pump standard equipment on the remaining Touring and Pure trims. The pump makes the most difference in the entry-level Air Pure. Despite the EPA test Lucid called out for being more challenging now, and despite a smaller 84-kWh battery, the Pure goes further on a charge. The 2025 Air Pure is rated at 420 miles on a charge — one mile greater than the 2024 Air Pure. That's five miles for every kilowatt-hour of pack capacity, up from 4.76 mi/kWh on the 2024 Air Pure, resulting in a record 146 MPGe.
