The quest for sustainable development and healthy and agile society of the future inspires enthusiasts and innovators with elegant solutions. Electric vehicles are increasingly filling the streets, and while electric cars are becoming commonplace, electric motorcycles are still an exclusive, something fresh and new. The pioneering company Cake fills this gap with its lightweight, high-performance electric motorcycles that meet the needs of people who combine an active lifestyle with environmental awareness. This year, the World Future Awards research team honored Cake and named it the winner in the category of Best Electric Motorcycles.

Cake was founded in 2016 with the goal of creating high-quality, quiet, lightweight, and clean electric motorcycles.

The innovative motorcycle was highly recognized by the audience, and there were many reasons for that. The highly maneuverable, quiet, lightweight, environmentally friendly bike had impressive handling characteristics and took its place in the garages of many riding enthusiasts around the world. Over time, models have been created for different usage scenarios, and today Cake offers premium electric motorcycles for urban environments, work, and extreme off-road riding.

Today it is difficult to imagine what the world will be like in 10, 20, or 30 years in detail. But we can already assume now that it will very likely be a world of sustainable transport, and today we have the opportunity not just to touch it, but to try out the delights of such transport. And for sure, cars in a few decades will be different from Lucid Air, but it is this electric vehicle that can deliver you the driving experience of tomorrow. This is evidenced by the fact that Lucid Motors was awarded the Best Luxury Electric Car at the World Future Awards 2022, a global award selecting and celebrating the best products and services that shape the landscape of the future.

Introducing Lucid Air

Lucid Air is the result of a revolutionary approach to vehicle development that provides an advanced electric vehicle design with optimized interior space. Thanks to the use of their own unique technologies, Lucid Motors presents a completely new image of a luxury car. So, meet Lucid Air, the most powerful, long-range, fast-charging electric car ever made.

Design

If you still doubted that an electric car can be really beautiful and stylish, Lucid Motors designers will make you change your mind. The car’s exterior is inspired by the smooth, natural landscapes of California, coupled with the elegance and clarity of aircraft. The fluid form of the car’s clean lines makes it one of the most aerodynamic vehicles in the world, with a drag coefficient of 0.21.

When you get inside the Lucid Air, you can’t help but be struck by the spaciousness of its ultra-luxurious interior. The miniaturization of the powertrain elements has created a spacious interior space that is hard to expect from a midsize sedan for both driver and passengers. The front and rear trunks of the Air provide an impressive amount of storage space, several times larger than that of other electric cars. The interior features high-quality materials, including Nappa, Alcantara, luxurious textiles, and several options of sustainably harvested wood.

Displays and Controls

The main feature of the interior of the Lucid Air are its displays, which can be safely called the wonders of technology. The main one, a 34-inch hovering Glass Cockpit panel that sweeps around the driver, conveniently displays all the necessary information about the car in 5K resolution. A second display, the Pilot Panel, is centrally located and provides the ability to customize the car’s systems. Air also features turbines and capacitive touchbars on a steering wheel, buttons and a roller control on the center panel for more convenient operation of the car’s media systems and climate control.

Performance

When it comes to range and power, there are several more reasons to speak of Lucid Air in superlatives. The proprietary battery technology allows the car to travel up to 520 miles, according to official EPA figures. And it only takes 20 minutes to recharge the battery for an additional 300 miles. Add to that high-tech engines with up to 1,111 horsepower and the ability to go 0 to 60 miles in 2.5 seconds, and you have a product that takes not only electric cars but automotive engineering in general to a new level.

Models and Customer Service

Lucid Motors offers five Lucid Air models, namely:

• Air Pure
• Air Touring
• Air Grand Touring
• Air Dream Edition RangeAir Dream Edition Performance

The manufacturer’s website allows you to select the desired model, configure it according to your wishes, and reserve the car of your dreams.

Lucid Motors’ customer service deserves special attention.

When high technology meets luxury, a product is born that revolutionizes even such a cutting-edge industry as the electric car market. This is precisely the case with the Lucid Air by Lucid Motors, an extraordinary electric car that could be described at length in superlatives. The World Future Awards are pleased to recognize the company’s dedication to thoughtful craftsmanship that is evident in every aspect of its operations by naming it the winner in the category of Best Luxury Electric Car.

The Lucid team has created a new generation car that has outstanding performance against the competition. With a gorgeous exterior and interior design inspired by California’s natural landscapes, the Lucid Air is the most powerful, fast-charging luxury electric car with the longest range. Its maximum 1,111 horsepower allows it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. The EPA estimated range is 520 miles, and the estimated time to charge for a 300-mile trip is 20 minutes.

Lucid Air uses a number of unique technical and design solutions to maximize space utilization and overall driver and passenger comfort. The car’s designers drew inspiration from aircraft, which helped them create one of the most aerodynamic cars in the world. With a mid-size exterior, the Air boasts a spacious, ultra-luxurious interior, comparable to a full-size sedan.

Lucid Air is controlled primarily by a floating 34-inch Glass Cockpit panel that curves around the driver’s seat and presents all necessary information in a convenient way and in 5K resolution. The central Pilot Panel provides additional options for more in-depth control of the vehicle, and if necessary, it slides away to provide access to a concealed storage compartment. Convenient physical buttons, speakers, and customizable ambient lighting are seamlessly integrated into the interior and provide a distinctive experience for the driver and passengers.
