I know there's always gonna be some charging loss, but this came in awfully high. I calculate over 13%. EA says it delivered 105kw going from 13-91%. That's 78%. If the usable battery is 117kw, that would be 91kw. That's 14kw in loss.

Gravity GT has a 123kWh battery. 123 * 78% is 95.94kWh, which is 90.96% of the 105.4758kWh delivered, which means only about a 9% loss.

About 10% is indeed what you should expect.

123 is the entire battery tho, including upper and lower end buffers, right? I've seen 117 mentioned many times for the usable battery (0-100%).

Is that not correct?
 
My Air is seeing consistent over 13% loss this is even on L2.
Last night my car says received 74.3KW but my charges says 87.6Kw delivered. A loss of 13.3kw which is nearly an 17% loss. I asked Lucid and my service tech and also posted in this forums. Only members in the forum responded but theirs is around 10 to 14%. Mine is even higher.

Lucid has no response for me even after requesting 10’s of times to check my car or help me understand the math :(
