Lucid Air owners will be able to use Tesla Superchargers from July 31

Starting July 31, owners of the Lucid Air luxury electric sedan will be able to charge their vehicles at thousands of Tesla Supercharger stations across North America using an approved $220 adapter. This development comes nearly two years after Lucid and Tesla reached an agreement to allow such access. However, Lucid Air vehicles will charge at a significantly reduced rate of 50 kW on Tesla’s V3 Superchargers, compared to Tesla’s peak rate of 250 kW. This limitation is due to a technical mismatch between Lucid’s 924-volt charging system and Tesla’s 400-volt Supercharger infrastructure, which restricts the charging speed for Lucid and other EVs with high-voltage systems when using Tesla chargers. Lucid’s engineers adapted the Air’s integrated charging system, called Wunderbox, to enable this 50 kW charging capability, viewing it as a convenient option for road trips or locations near Superchargers. Unlike the Lucid Gravity SUV, which features Tesla
