Investing.com -- Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID) stock rose 2.5% on Thursday after the company announced its Air Grand Touring achieved the longest range in Norway’s Automobil-Forbund (NAF) Winter Test.
The luxury electric vehicle covered 520 kilometers (323 miles) during what was described as the coldest NAF Winter Test ever recorded, with temperatures dropping to minus 31 degrees Celsius on snowy roads. The journey from Oslo to the highlands was completed without charging stops and outperformed the next closest competitor by nearly 100 kilometers.
"We are proud to be part of the NAF Winter Test for the first time. I believe it’s fair to say that the Lucid Air Grand Touring is the king of range – even under extreme winter conditions," said Lawrence Hamilton, President of Europe at Lucid.
The Air Grand Touring features Lucid’s proprietary electric powertrain technology with a WLTP range of up to 960 kilometers and combined consumption of 13.5 kWh/100 km. The sedan delivers 611 kW (831 PS) and can reach a top speed of 270 kilometers per hour.
According to the company, the Air Grand Touring previously set a range record in the NAF Summer Test, achieving 828.6 kilometers. Lucid also claims the vehicle holds the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the longest journey by an electric car on a single charge at 1,205 kilometers.
The NAF Winter Test, known as "El Prix," evaluates range and charging speed of electric vehicles under Nordic conditions, with 24 vehicles participating in this year’s test.
