The electric compressor fits in well and without any constraints with the proven strategy of downsizing, the company said. The motor and the electronic components are cooled by a water jacket connected to the engine cooling system. The compressor is compatible with both gasoline and diesel engines.

Instead, Lucid leaders see a bright future in cars that aim for maximum efficiency — rather than range per se — via smaller, more-affordable batteries. 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.

This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. The reduced slip on the lockup clutch gives a more direct connection to the accelerator pedal and therefore provides greater agility, the company says. Charging takes place at all times via a two-stage exhaust-gas turbocharger system.
