Lucid Air winter range
In Canadian winter driving, expect a Lucid Air Grand Touring (19-inch wheels) to cover roughly 659 km at 0°C and 478 km at −20°C, compared with 824 km rated.

Lucid Air range at 0°C
Around freezing, we estimate the Lucid Air keeps about 80% of its rated range. Heat pump fitment on the Lucid Air varies by model year and trim, so we use a mid-point between heat-pump and non-heat-pump results. Check the window sticker of a specific vehicle.
Lucid Air range at −20°C
At −20°C, battery chemistry slows and cabin heating runs hard, so we estimate about 58% of rated range. The best Lucid Air ranks #2 of 62 in our −20°C estimates.

Lucid Air range in cold weather in Canada
Most winter range loss is temporary: it returns when temperatures rise. Owners in Canada recover a good share of it by preheating the cabin and battery while still plugged in, using seat and steering wheel heaters instead of high cabin temperatures, parking in a garage when possible, and keeping tires at the recommended pressure, which drops as air cools.
Fast charging is also slower on a cold battery. If the Lucid Air offers battery preconditioning, set your navigation to the charger so the battery warms on the way.
