Which electric sedan achieved a 520-mile EPA range rating in 2021?

The Lucid Air Dream Edition Range achieved a 520-mile EPA range rating in 2021. That figure made it the longest-range electric car rated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency at the time.

Lucid developed the Air around compact electric drive units, efficient power electronics, and a large battery pack. The company emphasized reducing energy consumption per mile rather than relying only on a very large battery. The Dream Edition Range used a different efficiency-focused setup from the higher-performance Dream Edition Performance.

EPA range is an official U.S. testing estimate, not a guarantee that every driver will travel 520 miles. Temperature, speed, terrain, weather, and climate-control use can all change real-world results.

The Air’s rating is also distinct from maximum charging speed. Long range concerns stored energy and efficiency, while charging performance concerns how quickly electricity can be added to the battery.
