Lucid Group: Gaining Traction in the EV Market
The American startup Lucid Group has faced challenges in securing its position within the competitive electric vehicle (EV) landscape. However, recent developments suggest an uplifting prospect as it appeals to those seeking a premium performance alternative to Tesla.
Lucid’s Move Towards NACS Integration
A few years back, Lucid Group found itself at a crossroads when Tesla fervently championed its “North American Charging Standard” (NACS) through its widespread Supercharger network. At that moment, NACS lacked recognition as a universally accepted charging standard for North American EVs, since Tesla essentially created this term while most others were aligned with the Combined Charging System (CCS).
Nonetheless, due to Tesla’s dominance in the market and persuasive marketing strategies, more automakers started adopting NACS. As of November 6, 2023, Lucid declared that all existing vehicles equipped with CCS would have access to charging at Supercharger stations via an adapter and confirmed that new models introduced from 2025 onwards will feature embedded NACS technology.
“A unified charging standard is paramount for empowering consumers towards adopting electric vehicles,” remarked Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO of Lucid.
Introducing Integrated NACS Charging in Lucid Gravity
In line with their commitment, on January 28 Lucid unveiled their new SUV model—the Gravity—boasting space for up to seven passengers along with sufficient cargo capacity. The Gravity offers an impressive range of 450 miles paired with fast charging capabilities of up to 400 kilowatts while providing seamless access to over 20,000 Supercharger locations starting January 31 without requiring any adapters.
This SUV claims distinction as the first non-Tesla vehicle equipped directly with an NACS port upon delivering initial units in December 2024 (though supporters of models like Hyundai Ioniq may contest this assertion). Conveniently located on the rear driver’s side for easy usage at V3 and V4 Tesla Superchargers allows a swift change boost—the potential for a quick charge enabling up to 200 miles range achieved within just twelve minutes.
The company attributes remarkable performance during EV charging sessions across these networks partially due to advanced technology involved which leverages high voltage; integrating it effectively increases efficiency while minimizing heat generation in cables—a claim backed by compatibility across various voltage configurations including both 500V and higher volt options.
Diversifying EV Charging Options
The ease of utilizing Tesla’s Supercharger network marks merely one advancement within Gravity’s features. The vehicle also supports bi-directional energy transfer through its NACS port—capable of delivering power outputs reaching up to 80 A at approximately 19.2 kW.

The original air model will receive updates too; noted upgrades meant granting them full compatibility intended before Q2 concludes later this year ensuring smooth operations throughout all platforms operational therein.”
The Resurgence Of The Lucid Brand
