2025 Lucid Gravity: 450 Miles of Range and NACS Port2025 Lucid Gravity: 450 Miles of Range and NACS Port

Lucid Motors announces a major upgrade to its powertrain and charging technology, including a NACS charging port for fast charging for the new Gravity SUV, which gets up to 450 miles (725 km) of range.

Starting Jan. 31, the Lucid Gravity, the BEV maker’s first SUV, gains access, with no adapter necessary, to the Tesla Supercharger network. That makes the Gravity the first non-Tesla vehicle to be sold with a NACS port.

“Lucid Gravity offers next-level fast charging speeds and seamless access to the top charging networks including Tesla Superchargers and Electrify America,” says Emad Dlala, vice president of powertrain at Lucid. “To enable this experience for our customers, we developed new, unique technology to allow the 926V Lucid Gravity to charge seamlessly at up to 400 kW on 1000V charging equipment and at sustained speeds of up to 225 kW on 500V-architecture fast chargers, including Tesla V3 Superchargers.”

Lucid developed and patented technology employing Lucid’s rear-motor drive unit to boost the charging voltage of 500V to match the 926V of the BEV’s battery pack. Unlike the pack-splitting solutions used by some automakers, this solution permits charging with the highest voltage that a charging station is capable of outputting and therefore enables a more efficient utilization of electric current and reduction of cable heat. This allows full compatibility with 500V and 1000V charging networks. At peak charging rates, the Lucid Gravity can add 200 miles (322 km) of range in less than 12 minutes.

Lucid began delivering the higher-end trim models of the Gravity to customers last month.

On the Gravity, the 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.

Updated Powertrain

Lucid installs its new high-performance 926V powertrain platform in the Gravity. The upgraded powertrain enables fast charging and achieving speeds up to 400 kW with a compact 123-kWh battery. An advanced cooling system with increased thermal capacity enables sustained higher-power charging performance and long-distance towing, as well as consistent hot- and cold-weather performance.

Gravity also has a new Panasonic battery cell, which has chemistry enhancements compared with the BEV maker’s previous models. Combined with Lucid’s proprietary drive unit and a low 0.24 coefficient of drag, the company says the SUV’s EPA-estimated range is up to 450 miles.

Lucid Gravity is capable of bi-directional charging, supporting up to 80A at 19.2 kW with the NACS charge port. RangeXchange, first available on Lucid Air, also enables charging another electric vehicle directly via the NACS connector with an optional RangeXchange cable.

Pricing

Gravity Touring is planned to be available to order in late 2025 from $79,900 and Grand Touring is available to order now from $94,900. Access to the Tesla Supercharger network for Lucid Air is planned for Q2 2025.
