Lucid Air Pure - DC Fast Charging Test and Charging Curve 

Fast charging speeds and an efficient car!!! A beautiful combination!!

It’s a great vehicle. The inside is very nice in my opinion. The perfect blend of luxury and minimalist. It drives great. Charges great. Storage is the best I’ve seen for a sedan. And it is still a head turner. More so than even our Rivian. The main negative is the regular dream drive which I have does not have a 360 camera or true lane centering. It has lane keep assist but it’ll ping ping you back and forth if you try to go hands free for a bit. At this price point, those should have been standard. If you got dream drive pro, this is a non-issue. The roof on the front end is a little low so you just need to get used to this when getting in and out of the car. The app is little slow to wake the vehicle at times but that will get fixed with software updates I’m sure. Other than those, it really is a great car. You’ll enjoy it for sure and won’t regret it!

Yup! This is the way to do it for sure!

Yes, I do believe these are the Signet Surge charging stations. The old ones were replaced with these at this location about 6-months ago.

​@@EV-365 I'm glad you're posting. Not much on Lucid Pure here. Most are Lucid GT. I didn't see any charging rollercoaster on your video. Ramp up was a bit slow so you had to change stations. Perhaps with Pure and Touring being lower voltage they will not get the surge problem. EA has got to do better.

It actually didn’t. Here in Texas it is so hot during the summer, I always cover our sunroofs or glass roofs. We covered the rivian one and have never taken the cover off since.

Tesla is opening up the networks soon. Rivian has announced they will provide adapters. Lucid, not yet, but they will once Tesla has more of their new chargers out there that can maximize the Lucid's charging speeds.

It will be good to see if the new Lucid cars including the Gravity will come with NACS ports as soon as Teslas charging stations are upgraded.

@@litopostadan1049 They will, and Lucids with CCS (current gen) will be able to use Lucid-supplied adapters, ready in a couple of months, apparently. There are already 3rd party adapters that work.

Might be worth a revisit in light of the announcement that you'll be able to charge Lucids at Tesla charging stations.

@@coma13794 Yes I have my eye on e gravity. Once they are available with tesla's charging port and network I will trade in one of my X's and get the gravity. This is assuming Lucid looks like a financially viable company at the time.

The charge time was 43 minutes from 5% to 82%.

They have adapters now. So I believe so.

Yes. You just need a NACS to CCS adaptor. These are available on Amazon. Tesla now makes a charger with the adaptor built in.

The charging networks do need to step up their game big time!

Eventually, all of the networks should be open to everyone which will really help but the charging infrastructure is definitely a thing to factor in right now if you don’t have charging at home and/or take a lot of long road trips.

Tesla is opening all of their chargers to other cars so no issues

@@EV-365How many years away is that? 10?

@@amjads8971 integration is going to take years

@@Mr.CEO888 It’s already happening, by next year, tesla charging stations will be available to any automaker that wants to use their connectors.

Yes, Hyundai's have some of the best charging out there.

Hit and miss for sure at EA!

They will be there soon! Chai and a charge!

It’s still early days so it’ll get better! But honestly, there is some fun to all of this. And if you have home charging, there is only the occasional thing to worry about when you’re road-tripping! For daily driving, an EV is much less hassle than a ICE vehicle IF you have home or work charging.

​@@EV-365yes! stopping at gas stations every week is also a hassle. I plug in at home every night and wake up to a full "tank". Ive used fast chargers twice in the past year, both were at grocery stores, both times I plugged in, bought groceries, came back to a full car.

What a dog? Trolling along eh?

Most days I charge while I sleep at home so not really an issue. For road trips or if you do not have the ability to charge at home/office, it is something to consider...but again, with the Lucid, only if you are going somewhere well over 300 miles away, which should be a pretty small use case. Thanks for watching!

@@EV-365 When u charge ur car at home , is free ?

Keep in mind, if you charge at home, you're starting every day with a 'full tank' (or 80%, more likely, to preserve battery life). My concern would be if I was routinely doing many hundreds of miles on a regular basis into areas with few charging options, Short of THAT, I'm not seeing the issue. There is a feeling of anxiety that seems misplaced...like everyone is suddenly a professional long-haul trucker.
