Lucid Motors, known for its long-range electric vehicles, is reconsidering the optimal range for future models. CEO Peter Rawlinson believes that as charging infrastructure improves, consumers will feel comfortable with vehicles offering as little as 180 miles of range. He argues that most people's daily driving needs do not require long ranges and predicts that by 2030, a driving range of around 200 miles could become acceptable for family SUVs, reflecting a shift in expectations towards more practical urban commuting.
Peter Rawlinson argues that future EVs, particularly for city dwellers, may only need a range of 180 miles due to abundant charging infrastructure.
He suggests that by 2030, most buyers will accept a range around 200 miles for typical vehicles, transforming the market.
