How we estimate Lucid Air costs
- MPG / MPGe
- EPA-style combined city + highway figures for the base trim and recent model year.
- Fuel price
- Average US retail regular gas, premium where required, or per-kWh electricity.
- Annual mileage
- Default scenarios at 8,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 miles per year.
- Trim & year variance
- AWD, larger wheels, towing packages and older years can lower efficiency 5–15%.
