What they don't say is the range is 4 miles while using 1000 horsepower, and the range is 400 miles while using 10 horsepower.

This! I can't even begin to imagine how much leccy would be needed to sustain 1000bhp for 400 miles :eek:

1000bhp is about 745kW
The Lucid Air has a 100kW battery

It'll last about 8 minutes, flat out.

doesn't the veyron last 12 minutes? something like that anyway.

Apparently so.

I suppose the remarkable thing about the Lucid Air is that it can perform at that level, and it can drive at 4mpkWh (about 130MPGe) when driven normally. The Veyron gets about 8 MPG urban, and 15MPG highway.
