Lucid’s Gravity SUV will get native Tesla Supercharger entry on January 31

Lucid’s newly launched Gravity SUV will have the ability to entry Tesla’s Supercharger community throughout the US and Canada beginning on January 31. And because the electrical car comes with a built-in port that helps the North American Charging Customary (NACS), it would not want an adapter to have the ability to plug into Tesla’s Superchargers. The automaker says Gravity turned the primary non-Tesla mannequin to be offered with a NACS charging port when its first manufacturing fashions had been delivered to an preliminary batch of shoppers in December 2024. In the intervening time, solely the costlier $94,900 Grand Touring mannequin is offered for buy, however the firm plans to launch the $79,900 Touring mannequin someday in late 2025.

Emad Dlala, VP of Powertrain at Lucid, mentioned the automaker developed a “new, distinctive know-how” to make sure the Gravity’s full compatibility with chargers rated at 500V and 1,000V. To be actual, the Lucid Gravity has a 926V charging structure, so charging occasions will differ primarily based on the charging station it is plugged into. Dlala mentioned that the know-how the corporate developed permits the Gravity to “cost seamlessly at as much as 400 kW on 1000V charging gear and at sustained speeds of as much as 225 kW on 500V structure quick chargers, together with Tesla V3 Superchargers.”

Lucid pledged to help the North American Charging Customary again in 2023 and vowed to offer its clients entry to an adapter for its automobiles. The corporate mentioned that the Lucid Air, its electrical sedan that does not at the moment include built-in NACS ports, may even achieve entry to Tesla’s Supercharger community someday this second quarter.
