Lucid publishes no emissions figures at all, so the size deduction for an incomplete footprint (0.70x) applies. Its only sustainability report, for 2023, is qualitative, and its annual report for 2025 gives no greenhouse gas data. It has up to 2 MW of on-site solar and publishes no renewable share for its electricity. It has no quantified emissions target and no SBTi commitment. The US government's fuel economy site lists the Air Pure at 146 MPGe. No environmental fine, regulatory finding or NGO criticism of Lucid was found.
