- The lucid air model lacks the native native cargo port of the new gravity
- As a result, Lucid now offers an adapter to customers
- But it has a cost loading speed and accelerations
The EV Californian manufacturer Lucid has announced that it will offer the owners of older aerial models the opportunity to buy an adapter DC NACS-TO CCS1 that will allow vehicles to load the extensive network of supercharging Tesla.
The adapter, which costs $ 220 excluding taxes, will operate with any supercharger V3 and Superior, with the owners who pay the position through the lucid application, with a credit card saved to its lucid wallet.
However, due to the 924V high -tech electrical architecture promoted by lucid air, which allows you to load 300kw or more for ultra fast recharges, the optional adapter will see accelerated load speeds only 50kw from the 400V loading outputs of Tesla.
Lucid says that this will allow drivers to win up to 200 miles per hour of loading, giving the owners “additional tranquility while they are on the road.”
While it does not offer faster loading speeds, Tesla has and operates more than 70,000 supercharges worldwide, with almost 40,000 ports found dotted around the United States, connecting from this to west and north to south.
The Air Lucid already offers an impressive amount of fully electric rank, but its 2026 air tourism model will receive an increase of 6%, carrying the estimated total range of the EPA to 431 miles. The rest of the alignment can address a gigantic 512 miles with a single load.
ANALYSIS: EVs are overcoming the load network
The optional Lucid adapter could get a handful of owners of a link in the longest trips, but it feels like an additional disbursement so as not to a large amount of benefit: 50kw load speeds feel like an age now.
But the problem that many new EV manufacturers face are reduced to an existing and possibly aged load network that was designed for an electrical architecture of 400V.
Porsche turned with the ability to effectively divide the package of his Macan EV of 800V. Although this is an expensive solution that is finally transferred to the consumer with high prices of stickers.
Similarly, there was a fuss when Mercedes-Benz suggested that its newest 800V CLA could not load 400 V., potentially stealing owners of the ability to connect to the wide range of inherited outputs that are still in operation.
Mercedes explained in the recent launch that only the first models would be affected, stating that it will fit an adapter at 2026 models that will allow the CL to effectively load at lower speeds.
Unfortunately, the global infrastructure of electric vehicle loading is struggling to play with the rhythm of innovation, with great discrepancies between the loading speeds offered in several countries and regions.
Even Tesla, which possibly introduced electric vehicles into the masses, is struggling to launch its 500KW 500KW over -generation supercharger network for long generation for a long time.
