Storage
Temperature
CAUTION: Avoid exposing your
vehicle to ambient temperatures above 113°F (45°C) or below -4°F (-20°C) for more
than 24 hours at a time. Prolonged exposure can greatly reduce battery pack life and
performance. If it is necessary to exceed these guidelines, whenever possible, plug
the vehicle into a charging source to provide reliable thermal conditioning of the
battery pack.
Extreme temperatures can damage the battery pack. Avoid
parking in direct sunlight, especially on hot, sunny days, if possible.
Lucid also recommends keeping your vehicle sheltered or parked in a
garage whenever possible in extremely cold weather.
Preserving High
Voltage Battery Pack Health
The most effective way
to prolong the battery when not driving for long periods of time is leaving it
plugged into a charging source to maintain a healthy state of charge.
Setting
the charge level to Daily usage also helps preserve battery health.
CAUTION: When the vehicle is
not in use for long periods of time, it is necessary to plug it into a charging
source and set the charge target to the minimum Daily value (typically 50%
state of charge).
The battery pack gradually discharges over time when your vehicle is left parked
and unplugged (as with all batteries).
Warning: If your vehicle
reaches a 0% state of charge (or 0 miles/0 km range), charge the vehicle
immediately. The vehicle must not remain at 0% state of charge for more than 24
hours, or permanent damage to the high voltage battery could result. Repair or
replacement of the high voltage battery in these circumstances may not be
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Battery pack life and performance are greatly improved by maintaining a healthy
state of charge, generally between 30% and 80%.
The Clearview Cockpit will show an amber low battery indicator when the
remaining battery pack charge falls below the 50 mi / 80 km range.
The
Clearview Cockpit will display a warning indicator when poor battery pack health is
detected. Contact Lucid Customer Care to schedule a service
appointment.
Battery pack performance degrades over time, as is normal with
all lithium-ion batteries. The Pilot Panel will display a warning when the battery
pack needs service. Contact Lucid Customer Care to schedule a service
appointment.
