Lucid Air

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is exploring the future of law enforcement with the Lucid Air, a high-performance electric vehicle. The agency recently tested a modified version of the Air, dubbed the Lucid Pursuit, which is designed to meet the specific needs of law enforcement.

The Lucid Pursuit features a sleek, aerodynamic design with emergency lights, push bumpers, and a classic two-tone paint job. The vehicle also boasts a California bear badge and lightning bolt graphics, symbolizing its electric powertrain.

Lucid highlights the Air’s impressive range, performance, and spacious interior as key factors that make it suitable for law enforcement duties. However, the high cost of the vehicle, even before modifications, raises questions about its practicality for widespread adoption.

Despite the price tag, the Lucid Air offers significant performance advantages over traditional police cruisers. The base model delivers 430 horsepower and an estimated range of 420 miles, while higher-tier models offer even more power and range.
