Can someone please suggest a more approximate figure for 500+ miles?

Can someone please suggest a more approximate figure for 500+ miles?

As for any EV, the useful range is only from 20-80% (charging is slow above 80% and degrades the battery more quickly and going much below 20% frequently has both anxiety and battery issues) so multiply the EPA figures by 60%. For a Lucid, that means 300 miles. Then apply a real world range correction. For some EVs it might be 70 or 75%. For Lucid use 80% as it seems to be more efficient. That means you might want to charge every 240 miles or so. For most EVs with a 300 mile EPA range (generous as very few achieve that), you might only have 180 miles of EPA range (charging between 20 and 80%) and that might be charging every 130-150 miles.

Bottom line, you will go much farther in a Lucid than any other EV.

Thanks for the detailed calculation and for sharing the method of doing so. Really insightful! Thanks again, @sandvinsd!
