I’ve been tracking my monthly charging usage since taking delivery of my 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring in 2023, and I thought I’d share my data to compare with others in the community on the free charging I have received. Here’s my total kWh charged per month: 135.6 kWk; 140.4 kWh; 937.1 kWh; 832.5 kWh; 249.5; 283.3 kWh; 80.2 kWh; 51.4 kWh; 138.3 kWh; 664.2 kWh; 180.1 kWh; 431.5 kWh; 903.3 kWh; 163.6 kWh
1. All of these charging sessions have been free on the Electrify America network thanks to the included charging plan from Lucid. I haven’t had to pay for charging since taking delivery, which has been a huge perk of ownership.
2. My total charging usage over this period has been 5,191 kWh. If I had to pay out-of-pocket at Riverside Public Utilities, whose peak rate is around $0.38/kWh, my total charging cost would have been about $1,972. Having free charging has saved me a substantial amount.
3. My monthly usage fluctuates a lot, with some months using under 100 kWh and others exceeding 900 kWh likely reflecting seasonal differences, and possibly my nasty habitual lead foot.
4. The highest months (937.1 kWh, 903.3 kWh, 832.5 kWh) align with heavier LA to SB travel, while the lowest (51.4 kWh, 80.2 kWh) were generated when I had home charging enabled.
5. Despite over a year of driving and frequent DC fast charging, my battery degradation is reported to be less than 4% according to the car’s internal estimates. That said, Lucid’s BMS isn’t always the most reliable in measuring long-term battery health, so I take this number with a grain of salt.
6. I have a pretty high-mileage Lucid at 52,000 miles, and I still love the car a ton. It’s been an incredible long-range EV, and despite the miles, it continues to perform exceptionally well.
I’ve personally achieved 485 miles on a single charge, and overall, the car’s efficiency has held up well. For those who got the pending charge on their credit card, like I did, has it come off?

I don't know where to find that piece of information that says how many month/years of free charging I had. I could have swear that I had 24 months, but maybe it was just my wishful thinking. I'll ask CS. Oh wait, they don't respond. Oh well ...
