Using the Lucid Mobile Charging Cable, plug the J1772 (CCS type 1) connector into the car's charge port to begin charging.

Errors During Charging

The charge port light will turn red if an error occurs. Details and instructions will display on both the Pilot Panel and Glass Cockpit if this happens.

Contact Lucid Customer Care for further assistance if following the displayed steps does not resolve the error.

If another Electric Vehicle is low on charge, you can use your Lucid vehicle to charge it through shared charging.

Setup

1. Connect the RangeXchange cable to the Mobile charger.

   
   
   

2. Connect the short end of the RangeXchange cable to your vehicle.

   The charge port light will flash blue.

   
   
   

3. Plug in the long end of the RangeXchange cable to the other vehicle.

   This step is the same as the AC charging behavior of the other vehicle.

   
   
   

4. Start the charging process via the Pilot Panel of your vehicle.

Start a session from the Pilot Panel

1. Once the Mobile charger is connected to your vehicle via the RangeXchange adapter, the Pilot Panel will display the RangeXchange discharge screen.
2. To start discharge from your vehicle, tap Start Sharing.
3. After the connection is established, you can charge the other vehicle.
4. Your vehicle will continue to discharge until the set limit has been reached.

Discharging Speed and Power Limits

Your vehicle can support upto 9.6 kW of power discharge.

Press the button and then pull the charging cable towards you to disconnect it from the charge port and stop a charging session.

Emergency Manual Charging Cable Disconnect

The vehicle has a manual disconnect if pressing the button on the charging cable does not release it:

1. Open the hood. See Hood Opening and Closing.
2. Pull up on the manual disconnect lever to release the charging cable.

   
   
   

3. Ensure that the manual disconnect lever is correctly inserted into its original position before closing the hood.

You can check the progress of the charging process via the light on the charge port, in-vehicle displays, or Lucid Mobile App.

Charge Port Light

The charge port light indicates the current charging status. Refer to the following table to understand the meaning of each light color and pattern:

The progress meter of the charge port light will flash green when charging, indicating the current charge level of the battery pack.

1. One LED 0% - 24%
2. Two LEDs 25% - 49%
3. Three LEDs 50% - 74%
4. Four LEDs 75% - 99%

When charging is completed, the light will remain solid green.

Vehicle Display Status

The Pilot Panel and Glass Cockpit will display the current charging status once charging begins, including the time remaining until completion.

The charging system will charge the battery to the recommended level without a set charge limit. The vehicle dynamically adjusts the actual charging rate 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. A higher charge limit will increase trip distance. Vehicles that are parked for extended periods should be plugged in and use a lower charge limit to maintain battery pack health.

Follow these guidelines for setting the charge limit:

• Set the slider to Daily or 50% - 80% for general use. This setting best preserves the battery pack life.
• Set the slider beyond Daily and up to Distance for more range. Distance allows a full charge.

You may notice changes in reduced regenerative braking and charging speeds when charging beyond the Daily setting. This functionality gradually returns as the car is driven.

To set the charge limit:

1. Select >  CHARGING on the Pilot Panel to display charging options.
2. Tap the SET CHARGE LIMIT button.
3. Use the slider 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.
4. Tap the DONE button.

You can set a State of Energy (SOE) 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.

Preconditioning optimizes the temperature of the battery so it receives the maximum amount of charging from a fast charging station. Your Lucid Air can precondition your battery before fast charging. Start preconditioning about 20 minutes before you intend to plug in to a fast charging station. To start preconditioning:

1. Select >  CHARGING on the Pilot Panel to display charging options.
2. Tap the START PRECONDITIONING button.

Your vehicle will start optimizing the battery temperature en route to the charging station. If you arrive at the charging station before preconditioning is complete, you can still plug in and charging will begin automatically.

Scheduled Charging

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

Scheduling a Charging Session

Schedule a charging session on the Pilot Panel by tapping > CHARGING. The Scheduled Charging option will appear at the bottom of the display.

To set up scheduled charging, select the location and time for charging to begin.

After charging is scheduled, Charging Scheduled will appear on the glass cockpit and the pilot panel, and charging will begin at the selected time.

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 200m 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 12 hours following the scheduled time. For example, if you have set the scheduled time for 9:00 PM and you arrive home after having dinner at 10:00 PM, the charging process will start immediately upon plugging in at 10:00 PM. However, if you return from lunch at 2:00 PM and connect your vehicle, the charging will be scheduled to begin at 10:00 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.

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 and location. 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.

You may experience a range reduction in very cold weather. The Pilot Panel will automatically switch to the  CHARGING screen and display the reduction and remaining range.

blue battery warning indicator will display on the Glass Cockpit when the battery pack is too cold and needs to reserve energy.
