Methodology
DC fast-charging sessions with at least 5 kWh added and a recorded peak between 20 and 400 kW. 'Median session peak' is the median of each vehicle's median session peak; 'vehicle best' is each vehicle's highest recorded peak.
A model line is shown only when at least 5 vehicles qualify. Peak rate is what the car reports during the session, sampled every 15 seconds while fast charging.
Frequently asked
How fast does a Lucid charge?
Lucid Air and Gravity are 900-volt-class vehicles that can exceed 300 kW on a capable charger. The figures above show the peaks real owners actually reach across the chargers they use.
Why don't I hit the advertised peak?
Peak rate depends on the charger's power and voltage capability, the battery's state of charge (peaks happen below ~30%), battery temperature and preconditioning. Many chargers are limited to 150–250 kW.
Which networks are fastest for Lucid?
The LucidTracker charging map (https://lucidtracker.app/ChargingMap) shows owner-measured session data and reviews per station.
LucidTracker is a free companion app for Lucid Air and Gravity owners: trips, charge sessions, battery health and OTA rollouts, synced from your car. LucidTracker+ adds 1-minute sync, GPS trip playback and charge-session analytics.
