Munro & Associates, a company specializing in reverse engineering and teardown benchmarking, recently disassembled the battery of a Lucid Air Grand Touring. Its engineers conducted a teardown to the cell level to understand how Lucid Air batteries are designed, and how the luxury sedan achieves its remarkable EPA-estimated driving range – between 384-516 miles, depending on the variant.
Lucid Air’s lower variants – Air Pure and Air Touring – get an 18-module battery pack while the Air Grand Touring gets a 22-module battery unit, according to Munro Live, the company’s YouTube channel where the results were posted. The absence of the 4 additional modules in the Air Touring – mounted under the rear floor – helps free footwell space for the rear occupants.
