WORLD'S FIRST: LUCID AIR 0-100% DC FAST CHARGE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This video provides the first independent 0-100% DC fast charging review of the Lucid Air Dream Edition Range. The reviewer confirms Lucid's claim of the fastest charging EV, with the Air hitting a peak of 304 kW. While the peak rate was brief, the vehicle maintained high charging speeds for a significant duration, adding 100 miles of range in just 5.5 minutes and reaching 80% charge in 37 minutes. The reviewer highlights the impressive efficiency, noting that 50 kWh were added in less time than comparable Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan, with the Lucid Air traveling further on that energy. A full 0-100% charge took 1 hour and 22 minutes, dispensing 134 kWh, slightly more than expected due to charging losses. The reviewer advises against charging beyond 80% due to significantly slower rates, making the last 20% take nearly as long as the first 80%. Overall, the Lucid Air's charging performance is deemed exceptional, particularly for road trips, though the reviewer plans a follow-up range test for more definitive real-world mileage figures.
