HOUSTON, TEXAS (Editors at Energy Analytics Institute, 28.Jan.2025) — Lucid Group, Inc., a maker of electric vehicles, announced details about the Lucid Gravity’s highly innovative powertrain and charging technology that set it apart as both a daily driver and a road trip vehicle, including a NACS charging port for easy and fast charging.
From 31 Jan. 2025, Lucid Gravity gains wide access, with no adapter necessary, to the Tesla Supercharger network, the most available and convenient charging network in the US and Canada, Lucid announced 28 Jan. 2025 in an official statement.
Lucid developed and patented an innovative technology employing its proprietary rear motor drive unit to boost the charging voltage of 500V to match the 926V of the Lucid battery pack.
“Unlike the pack splitting solutions used by some competitors, this high-tech solution permits charging with the highest voltage that a charging station is capable of outputting and therefore enables the efficient utilization of electrical current and consequent reduction of cable heat,” Lucid said in the statement.
This novel technology allows full compatibility with 500V and 1000V charging networks, offering Lucid Gravity customers maximum charging speed on whatever charger is most accessible. At peak charging rates, the Lucid Gravity sustains a robust charging curve, adding 200 miles in less than 12 minutes.
After delivering the first production vehicles to customers in Dec. 2024, the Lucid Gravity became the first non-Tesla to be sold with a NACS charge port.
On the Lucid Gravity, this charge port is located on the rear driver’s side of the vehicle for easy access to V3 and V4 Tesla Superchargers where it will charge natively on the fast-growing range of new generation 1000V NACS chargers. CCS1 to NACS and SAE J1772 to NACS adapters are also included with the Lucid Gravity, and the CCS1 adapter is the first rated to charge at 500A with 1000V. The adapter enables charging at up to 400 kW through the standard NACS connector in Gravity with a CCS1 connector at a fast charger.
