Setting a Charge Limit

The charging system will charge the battery until the set limit is reached. The vehicle dynamically adjusts the actual charging speed depending on the state of charge, ambient temperature, battery pack temperature, and position of the charge slider.

You may need to adjust the charge limit higher or lower, according to your driving needs and available time for charging.

Follow these recommendations for setting the charge limit:

  • Set the slider at or below Daily for general use. This setting best preserves the battery pack life.
  • Set the slider to Distance for full range capacity.

To set the charge limit:

  1. Navigate to the Charging tab of the Energy app on your Pilot Panel.
  2. Tap on the slider and move your finger to set the desired level of charge between 50% - 100%. Set the slider to Daily for general use and Distance for a long-range trip.
  3. Remove your fingers from the slider to set the new charge limit.

You can set a State of Charge (SOC) limit between 50% and 100%. If the battery level at plug-in is below the set limit, the vehicle will display Charging Complete. Adjust the limit anytime, even if the SOE is above the new limit. A reminder will appear on the main screen if the set limit is lower than the current SOE.

Note: Regularly utilizing the Daily limit will enhance battery life and performance.

Preconditioning

Preconditioning optimizes the temperature of the battery so it receives the maximum amount of charging from a fast (DC) charging station.
Note: Preconditioning is not required for home (AC) charging. The vehicle will automatically heat or cool the battery for AC charging when needed.
Your Lucid Gravity can precondition your battery before you arrive at a fast charging station. Start preconditioning between 20 and 45 minutes before you arrive at a fast charging station.
Note: The amount of time needed for preconditioning may vary outside of this range depending on the battery temperature and extreme hot or cold weather conditions.

Once preconditioning is complete, the system will maintain the target temperature for 45 minutes before turning off to save energy.

To start preconditioning:

  1. Navigate to the Charging tab of the Energy app on your Pilot Panel.
  2. Tap the PRECONDITION BATTERY button.
Note: You can also precondition the battery for fast charging through the mobile app.

For short commutes, cold conditions, or when you don't have enough time to precondition the battery while driving, tap on your mobile app to fast charge.

If you arrive at the charging station before preconditioning is complete, you can still plug in and charging will begin automatically.

Note: Preconditioning is not required for home charging (AC charging) since the power level is low enough that the temperature of the battery does not affect the charging rate. The vehicle will automatically heat the battery for AC charging when needed.
Note: Preconditioning is automatically disabled when the vehicle's battery pack charge level falls below 10 mi / 16 km to ensure the necessary range is available to reach the charging station.

Auto Preconditioning

Instead of manually enabling preconditioning, you can navigate to a fast charger for your vehicle to start charging automatically as needed at the appropriate time.

Note: Ensure that the feature is turned on in Charging settings.

Scheduled Charging

Scheduled Charging

Scheduled Charging allows you to pick a time when charging will start at a given location, even after the charging cable is connected. This can be late at night or during a particular time of day.

Warning: Lucid recommends always using the built-in Scheduled Charging feature. The Scheduled Charging application on third-party chargers may not work properly on your vehicle. For further assistance, see Contacting Lucid Motors.

Scheduling a Charging Session

Under the Charging tab of the Energy app, the Scheduled Charging option will appear on the right side of the screen.

To set up scheduled charging, select a start time for the vehicle's current GPS location.

When the vehicle is plugged in within 50m of a saved location, Charging Scheduled will appear on the Clearview Cockpit and the Pilot Panel, and charging will begin at the selected time.

You can also use the Lucid mobile app to schedule a charging session. See Mobile App Charging Screen.

Note: Scheduled Charging is not supported with DC charging stations or with certain "smart" AC charger models requiring high-level communication between the vehicle and the charging station.
Note: Scheduled Charging is automatically disabled when the vehicle's battery pack charge level falls below 10 mi / 16 km.
Note: Unplug and plug the charging cable again to schedule another charging session once charging has begun.

Charging Schedule and Flexibility

Charging will be automatically scheduled to start at the designated time when you connect your vehicle to an AC charger located within a 50m radius of the specified location. If you happen to plug in your vehicle after the scheduled time, charging will commence immediately. This grace period lasts for a maximum of 6 hours following the scheduled time. For example, if you have set the scheduled time for 5:00 PM and you arrive home after having dinner at 8:00 PM, the charging process will start immediately upon plugging in at 8:00 PM.

Turning Scheduled Charging On and Off

Tap the toggle to the right of your selected charging time on the Pilot Panel to turn Scheduled Charging on or off.

Note: Your vehicle will start immediately charging when a charging cable is connected and Scheduled Charging is off.

Selecting a New Scheduled Charging Time

Tap the scheduled time on the Pilot Panel to modify it. A Scheduled Charging modal will appear where you can select a new time. Tap Confirm.

Overriding a Scheduled Charging Session

Tap Start Charging on the charging screen on either the Pilot Panel or in the Lucid mobile app if Scheduled Charging is active to override the scheduled time and begin immediately charging.

Note: This will only override the current Scheduled Charging session. The feature will continue to function as normal for all future sessions.

Current Limiter

Current Limiter allows you to set the maximum amperage of an AC charging session. The Current Limiter is useful if your home charging station has a circuit breaker limit or when the vehicle's current consumption needs to be restricted.

Setting a Current Limit

Under the Charging tab of the Energy app, the Current Limiter option will appear on the right side of the screen.

Use the + and - buttons to adjust the current value.
Note: The maximum value is 80A and the minimum value is 10A.

Once set, the current limit is saved for that location using the vehicle's current GPS. When the vehicle is plugged in within 50m of a saved location, the previously set current limit will automatically be applied.

Alternatively, the Current Limiter can be controlled remotely in the mobile app.

Range

The Range tab of the Energy app provides insight into your vehicle's current range ability and how you might improve the vehicle's efficiency.
