Lucid Motors recently invited State Of Charge’s Tom Moloughney and Out of Spec’s Kyle Conner team for the first independent charging tests of the all-new 2025 Lucid Gravity. The initial results indicate that the Lucid Gravity is the fastest-charging EV on the market in the US.

The Lucid Gravity brings a lot of firsts to the EV market, including the SAE J3400 (NACS) charging inlet in a non-Tesla EV and a very powerful voltage booster to improve charging at low-voltage chargers like the popular Tesla V3 Superchargers (usually 450-470 volts).

The Gravity’s 123-kWh battery has 926 volts and its true potential of charging at up to about 400 kW can be seen at high-voltage chargers (950-1,000 volts). According to the specs, the luxury SUV can replenish 200 miles of range in less than 12 minutes. At low-voltage chargers, the power output is lower (up to 225 kW).

Our very own Tom Moloughney had an opportunity to talk about the Lucid Gravity’s charging system and development challenges with Emad Dlala, Senior VP of Powertrain at Lucid Motors. He was already a guest of State Of Charge earlier this year, regarding the company gaining access to the Tesla Supercharging network.

Supercharging the Lucid Gravity

The first charging test of a Lucid Gravity was at a Tesla Supercharging station. It was a site with V4 dispensers that was still powered by the older V3 power electronics cabinets (usually limited to 450-470 volts). Tom tested the car from 0% to 100% state-of-charge (SOC).

The Lucid Gravity can start charging automatically after plugging in. No adapters were needed because both the charger and the car are NACS-compatible. As we can see in the charging curve, the voltage booster enabled the car to receive roughly 210 kW of power. The charger was the limiting factor as the potential is 225 kW, which might be available at a different Supercharger.

According to Blake Hemingway, Technical Specialist of Charging Software at Lucid Motors, the Lucid Gravity can maintain a maximum current from a V3 Supercharger (500 amps) for about 15 minutes. It’s amazing that the booster can virtually double the voltage and provide a really solid charging performance at low-voltage chargers.

Some other manufacturers decided to physically split the battery pack in half to achieve voltage parity between the charger and the car. Lucid went the power electronics route.

The range replenishment rate of the Lucid Gravity is really good. About 200 miles of range can be added in less than 18 minutes, even at a low-voltage V3 Supercharger.

Charging at a 350+ kW charger

The second test was conducted at a high-voltage EVgo charger with the use of a CCS1-to-NACS adapter. It was rated at 350 kW, but in the real-world test, the charger delivered over 375 kW of power. The results were impressive.

The Lucid Gravity has a very good charging curve with a 300+ kW charging level available from 0% to almost 40% SOC.

The vehicle was able to replenish half of its battery in about 12 minutes. This is the most fruitful period. After some 24-25 minutes, the car has 75% SOC, and due to the decreasing charging power, it’s not worth sitting at a charger at this point.

The 2025 Lucid Gravity GT, assuming its 450-mile EPA range with 21-inch wheels, can replenish 100 miles of range in over 5 minutes. About 150 miles can be added in 8 minutes, and 200 miles of range is available after less than 11 minutes.

These results are spectacular. We will go into the details in the upcoming deep dive charging analysis post and video soon. We will then compare various scenarios, including a 400-kW charging test. Stay tuned for more.

The @LucidMotors Gravity is an absolute charging monster – hat’s off to Emad Dlala and the entire Lucid team for pushing EV charging tech to another level.
