Not an owner of a Lucid nor a shareholder of Lucid but how can you not be intrigued by statements from Peter Rawlinson of Lucid?

“I think that the, the mantle has has passed to Lucid. I think Lucid is now at the cutting edge, huh? I think we are the company with a true sense of mission. This week. I was proud to announce that we’d created a landmark number in the development of the ev, which is gonna have a profound impact upon the planet. And that is achieving five miles of range per kilowatt hour of energy.”

“But for a more affordable family car, it’s over 40%. There is no gasoline engine car equivalent to this imbalance of cost. So what we are doing at Lucid is addressing the cost of the batteries. And we are doing it in an unorthodox way, rather than saying, right, can we make batteries cheaper? Through an economy of scale, we’re actually saying, do we need that many batteries in the first place? Can we go further with higher technology? We’ve reinvented the electric motor. We have reinvented the inverter to go further with less batteries in the first place. And so if you look at our products today, if you look at the Lucid Air Pure, we’re able to do the car that’s in production right now for any journey you take from A to B, whether it’s from home to the office, down the shops on your vacation, you will use less electricity to go from A to B than any other car on the market today, bar none. And because it’s the most efficient and because you’re able to use less electricity, not only will it cost you less as a user, but it means you don’t have to carry such a large battery pack around. And that means better use of the world’s precious resources, less mines for lithium, nickel, cobalt, less dependence geopolitically in this world for the us. And this is of a profound significance. We can go further with less through technology.”
