Is the vehicle charging and battery page gone?

It’s temporarily hidden. I deployed whole new backend function for the data syncing from Lucid and it busted a whole bunch of stuff. Switched from running a docker container in AWS and pushed the code into GitHub for easier updating in future.

Good news is that the function is now more “robust” 😂 and built better for scalability. I’m slowly but surely going through the sections now and fixing the broken code.

Working on a pretty big feature update also (hence the reason for a more robust syncing platform)
 
@HC_79 Out of curiosity, how did you settle on $0.35/kWh for the estimated cost? I haven't seen any DCFC that low. With the EA plan I have, best I'm getting in NY is $0.42.

It was originally being pulled from an API that was "supposed" to have updated costs but it was extremely inaccurate. The automated cost will be removed in a future update and you'll be able to add the costs in manually yourself. If Lucid ever exposes the charging summary costs then they can easily be added automatically at a later date.

Nice. And, I'm guessing that image shows your charging and rate from charging at home, right? Based on 11.1 peak kW because 56 kWh for less than $14 probably can't be DCFC. But that brings up an interesting point that might be already in another thread. I'm curious what others are paying at DCFC locations around the country. Hmmmm.....

Correct. I just grabbed it from my last home charging session with the TOU rate set up in Account Settings so that it my true home charging cost.

DCFC will be able to capture the peak charging speed and show the curve also with comparisons done from other owners charging at the same location to see if you got a good charging session or bad charging session etc. with the ability to enter your session cost manually.

Indeed, GasBuddy like info on local prices (not just L3(in all its flavors), but also L1 & L2(in all of its flavors)) sure would be nice... I've always thought that GasBuddy should have an ElectronBuddy counterpart and was surprised that PlugShare didn't provide something like that... but then again, perhaps the key problem is that all these EVs apparently need to use their own proprietary electrons (for members only: FordNet, ShellNet, ElectricAmericaNet, TeslaNet, RivianNet, BenzNet, etc rather than just CreditCardNet)... LOL

Maybe some of the smart people here can build something like that. I'll just collect royalties for the idea 🤑
 
AI results

As of Q1 2026, public DC fast-charging (DCFC) rates in the U.S. have stabilized around an average of $0.53/kWh, with typical prices ranging from $0.45 to $0.65/kWh across major networks. Membership plans generally offer savings of 20–30%. [1, 2, 3]
2026 DCFC Pricing Trends & Data

• Average Cost: $0.53 per kWh (excluding free chargers).
• Range: $0.22–$0.68/kWh for non-members, while "Ultra-Fast" (150–350 kW) can reach up to $0.85/kWh in high-cost areas.
• Membership Discounts: $0.18–$0.51/kWh (50–150 kW) and $0.26–$0.64/kWh (150–350 kW).
• Tesla Supercharging: Typically $0.30–$0.45/kWh, with some high-demand regions exceeding $0.60/kWh.
• Per-Minute Pricing: Used by networks like EVgo in most states, where slower-charging vehicles (50 kW) pay a higher effective rate (approx. $0.42/kWh) compared to faster-charging vehicles. [1, 2, 3]

Regional Variations in 2026

• Highest Cost States: Alaska, Hawaii, California, New Jersey, Colorado, and Connecticut. Hawaii reached up to $0.87/kWh in Q1 2026.
• Lowest Cost States: Southeast (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida) and parts of the Midwest.
• Network Pricing: FLO and ChargePoint often represent the lower end of the pricing spectrum, while Electrify America's 350 kW "Hyper-Fast" chargers are often the most expensive. [1, 2]

2026 Market Context

• Infrastructure Growth: The U.S. surpassed 73,000 public DCFC ports as of Q1 2026, with 13,708 locations.
• NACS Adoption: NACS (SAE J3400) connectors make up nearly 52% of total chargers (including Tesla) as of early 2026.
• Utilization: DCFC utilization rates weakened slightly in Q1 2026 to 15.6%, suggesting capacity is growing faster than demand in some areas.
• Cost Drivers: High demand charges for site operators—which can account for up to 85% of operating costs—continue to keep public DCFC prices much higher than residential electricity rates (avg. $0.18/kWh). [2, 4, 5]

Trust me, I tried and it was a rabbit hole I stayed out of with everything else I’m working on 😂

As mentioned above, the charging networks are a hot mess. They all run their own infra and pricing seems to fluctuate not just from state to state but also time of day also. I can see why one doesn’t exist, I don’t think it would ever be accurate.

Now that Google has added charger status into Google Maps recently maybe one day they’ll have pricing visible. If so, I’m pretty sure they’d expose that info in the Google Maps API (for a fee of course).

does Lucid Tracker only support Lucid vehicles in the USA?

Good question. If you're not based in the USA and want to be a guinea pig register on the site, try and sync your account and if you get an issue use the "report an issue" in My Garage and I can take a look.

Account Sync aside, I think I would need to dig into how to split the OTA versions and release notes also as not all countries get the same updates.

Thank you. Have submitted a ticket. I'm unable to sync my lucid account (perhaps because I need to select the Saudi Lucid site to login). Also our vehicle VINs start with RTE instead of 50E as the WMI unlike in the USA.

Sent you a response on the ticket.

KSA VIN's should now be recognized and just pushed an update to the site that now supports syncing Lucid Accounts from US, EU, KSA & ME. There's now a drop down on the Lucid Sync screen to choose your region.

OK, just for giggles, what's your day job?

LucidTracker Charging Map is now live. ( https://lucidtracker.app/chargingmap )

DC fast chargers now show how many registered Lucid drivers have actually used it, what those sessions looked like, and when another Lucid last plugged in.

Open any station on the map and the detail panel now includes a **Lucid Fleet Experience** section:
  • Total unique Lucid drivers and total session count at that station
  • Average energy delivered and average session duration across all visits
  • When another Lucid driver last charged there
  • A per-session breakdown of recent visits with energy, duration, and (where LucidTracker+ tracked) peak charge rate
Stations with fleet history get a green ⚡ pill on the list view, and their map marker grows in proportion to visit count, at a glance you can tell which stops actually see Lucid traffic.

The sort dropdown on the list adds two options:
  • Most popular with Lucid's
  • Recently visited by Lucid's

Enjoy!
 
How does it work? How do you get the data that the cahrgers used lucids to charge?

LucidTracker pulls charging history from two sources:
  1. Owners Lucid Account - Every DC fast charge session (EA & Tesla at this point) gets logged with its coordinates, energy delivered, and duration.
  2. LucidTracker+ (soft launch phase) - For owners who have subscribed, while they're plugged in, LucidTracker+ records peak charge rate and the full charging curve in real time for all DCFC and Home charging sessions. If EA or Tesla it will use coordinates to backfill the sessions provided from the owners Lucid Account
1779286085183.webp


To show "X Lucid drivers charged here" on a station, the map runs each session's GPS coords against the station's OpenChargeMap (OCM) coordinates and counts it as a match if they're within 200 meters of each other.

For peak charge rates specifically (the kW numbers), only real LucidTracker+ sessions count, those are the only ones where we know the actual peak the car hit. Historical sessions from Lucid Accounts don't include accurate peak data, so they contribute to visit counts but not to peak statistics.

That's the whole match logic. As more peak charge rates are collected the system will then rate the station reliability also

1779285655960.webp


With charger reliability being a common problem when road tripping, the idea was to give owners the ability see charger performance based off other owners experiences to know whether it's a problematic charger or not. Hopefully some find it useful as the data starts to accumulate.
