Lucid is ready to roll out Tesla Supercharger access for its 2025 Gravity electric SUV.
Lucid committed to adopt the Tesla-developed NACS charge port in November 2023, and said in September 2024 that the Gravity would get a NACS port sometime this year, shortly after the start of production. The automaker on Tuesday confirmed that every Gravity built for the U.S. market has a NACS port, with Supercharger access to go live Jan. 31.
The Gravity’s NACS port is located in the same spot as on a Tesla—the rear driver’s side of the vehicle—to facilitate easy use of V3 and V4 Supercharger stations. That’s a completely different location than the front left fender, where it had located the charge port in prototypes.

Lucid expects a sustained charging power level of 225 kw on 500-volt DC fast chargers like the V3 Superchargers and up to 400 kw with the 1,000-volt output of V4 Superchargers.
At peak charging rates, Lucid estimates that 200 miles of range can be added in less than 12 minutes at a peak 400 kw—a significant improvement over the 15 minutes it had previously claimed with a 350-kw connector.
Lucid also confirmed a 123-kwh battery capacity, with cells supplied by Panasonic but with what Lucid claims are chemistry updates compared to cells used in the automaker’s Air sedan, returning an estimated 450 miles of range.

A CCS1 adapter is included with NACS-equipped Gravity models, matching the 400-kw peak of the NACS port sans adapter, Lucid claims. Models equipped with the NACS port will also still be capable of bidirectional charging at up to 19.2 kw, according to Lucid.
Bidirectional charging includes the ability to charge other EVs, dubbed RangeXchange, a feature that debuted on the Lucid Air sedan in 2023. Lucid said it will add Supercharger access for the Air in the second quarter of this year, with more details to follow.
The 2025 Lucid Gravity arrives in Grand Touring form with a $94,900 base price before destination. A $79,900 Touring grade is due to arrive for the 2026 model year. First impressions, in the form of a prototype test drive and a review of a close-to-production Gravity, have been encouraging.
