Charging Times
Charging times vary based on the
voltage and current available from
the power outlet, subject to various
conditions. Charge time also depends on
ambient temperature and the vehicle’s
battery temperature. If the battery is not
within the optimal temperature range for
charging, the vehicle heats or cools the
battery before or during charging.
To estimate the time needed to recharge
the battery in hours (from near zero
percent to near one hundred percent),
divide the battery size (kWh) by power
(kW). Different adaptors provide different
current and power outputs.
While charging your vehicle, you can
touch the Charging icon on the
Infotainment screen or the Lucid App to
review the charging status information,
including the time remaining until fully
charged at the currently selected charge
level.
NOTE: An electricity relationship
principle known as Ohm’s Law
states that a 240-volt circuit
charging at 40 amperes provides
9,600 watts of power: 40 x
240 = 9,600. When expressed
as kilowatts, this works out to
9.6 kW. The actual charging
power can vary based on
vehicle conditions such as wake-
up/sleep, energy conversion
efficiency, and AC/Heater ON/
OFF. Thus, it would take between
9-10 hours to charge a 90 kWh
battery pack from 0% capacity
to 100% capacity. (90 divided by
9.6 is roughly 9.3 hours.) Further
note that, in order to avoid
possible battery damage, Lucid
recommends that you never fully
discharge the vehicle battery.
