Performance

5 / 5
EV Decide Score
With 1,111 horsepower on the high-end, the Lucid Air is incredibly quick and only second to the Tesla Model S Plaid currently. 

Seating Capacity

4 / 5
EV Decide Score
The Lucid Air comfortably seats 5 but can be tight if you need other seating arrangements like car seats. 

Storage Capacity

3 / 5
EV Decide Score
The trunk is actually quite large on the Lucid Air, however the odd shaped opening makes it hard to fit larger items. 

Comfort / Luxury

5 / 5
EV Decide Score
The main reason you buy the Lucid Air is for the luxury finishes. It really feels like a high-end Mercedes inside and the quality is second to none.

Cost

2 / 5
EV Decide Score
Currently the Lucid Air is out of the price range for almost everyone but in the future they do plan on offering more "affordable" options.

Charging Network

3 / 5
EV Decide Score
With a CCS adapter the Lucid Air works with most all public networks in the US except Tesla of course.

Range

5 / 5
EV Decide Score
The Lucid Air boasts the longest range of any EV on the planet, and with their impressive battery tech it will likely be a while before they're challenged.

Charging

5 / 5
EV Decide Score
The Lucid Air currently holds the fastest charging speeds we've ever seen at over 300kW. This means on a road trip you're likely to just need quick stops, especially considering the longer range versions.

Tech

3 / 5
EV Decide Score
The tech inside the Lucid leaves some things to be desired, and their lack of support for Apple Carplay and Android Auto are disappointing at such a high priced vehicle.
