Extrapolating from company targets, a future compact-size Lucid—think the size of Tesla Model 3 or Model Y—could decisively downsize its battery without sacrificing useful range. All this could grant the ultimate, elusive wish for EV makers: Price parity with internal-combustion automobiles. More useable space for passengers and cargo.
