Electric vehicles are not at odds with speed and Lucid Motors proves it

In the electric vehicle sector, Tesla has become a benchmark and a model to be followed by any company that wants to put its head in this sector. In fact, Tesla itself released a number of patents a few years ago so that any company could make use of them for free to fstart manufacturing electric vehicles with reasonable autonomy, like the models Elon Musk makes.

But electric vehicles don't have to be at odds with speed. Thanks to the electric motor, the acceleration that is achieved is sometimes much greater than what we can find in a combustion vehicle. Today the Tesla Model S is the fastest electric vehicle in the world, reaching 100 km / h in 2,7 seconds. But he's not the only one.

Lucid Motors is another of the manufacturers that are betting on electric vehicles but aimed at a luxury sector, like the high-end of Tesla, a manufacturer that also plans to launch this month the first affordable electric vehicle, the Model 3. Lucid Air, is the prototype of the Lucid Motor company, a prototype that with 1000 hp of power and a range of 640 kilometers has been able to reach 378 kilometers / hourThis is if eliminating the speed limiter that all manufacturers have implemented for some time, a limiter that does not allow exceeding 250 kilometers / hour.

While this prototype comes to market one day, Lucid Motors plans to launch its first electric vehicle in 2019, a vehicle with 400 hp of power and a range close to 400 kilometers. If you have $ 52.500, double the starting price of the Model 3, you can now reserve it.

Like other manufacturers that are reaching the electric vehicle market, They still have a long way to go if they want to stand up to Tesla, a manufacturer that began creating this type of high-end vehicle to eventually launch a utility for all budgets. In addition, the guarantee that Tesla can offer us around the world is also a point to take into account in this sector.
