Taking Care of the Battery - Suggestions from Battery Engineer from Lucid

Yikes, @californiaboy935! 69 MPH in a 25 MPH zone? No wonder you managed to add miles so quickly!

Lols, that’s on the 215… Lucid’s speed thing is on some speed if it thinks the limit is 25…

But yes it’s in Mexico… car is always in Mexico… @Tesla2Lucid taught me that…

Would be interesting to see higher mileage state of health. I’m at 20k miles, treat the battery well at 20-80%, rate dcfc, and SOH is 93%.

Using @HC_79 's https://lucidtracker.app/ I have SOH at ~91.4%

@HC_79 Does Lucid Tracker show a scatter plot of battery SOH vs miles? Or vs model year?

Not yet but it can probably be added to the leaderboard at some point in the future

Decided to pull the trigger on a Lucid Gravity purchase/deposit. I consulted with my cousin who worked for Lucid as well as Rivian. He had some interesting things to say, almost axioms to consider:
1. Try not to use DC Fast chargers. On long trips you may not have a choice so if you can top off at Level 2 chargers, it is easier on the battery
2. Try not to charge above 80% if you can. In order to get over 80%, the battery will need to physically swell to accept the charge over 80%.
3. Level 2 charging does not damage the battery, but constant DC fast charging does
4. A larger battery and range is better for longevity and range as the vehicle 'sips' the electrons in a miserly fashion. Consider the reduced range of running from near zero to 80% as the norm and trips in a leisure fashion.

As for me picking Lucid and the Gravity:
1. I need the room for gear and dogs.
2. VW and Rivian has a joint partnership that really improves Rivian. If something does not work out on Lucid, Rivian R1S is my 'plan b'
3. Met Peter Rawlingson and my cousin said the Lucid is the closest thing to a european EV in terms of design, experience, and driving. I am a devout Porsche and Corvette previous owner and racer. Lucid is the best for me as I believe in the difference Lucid engineering delivers.

In closing, these 4 points are worth keeping in mind for every EV owner. They don't necessarily need to follow them strictly, but understanding the physics and engineering can help get the best long term experience from the vehicle. Mobile Battery replacement tampa can also be a convenient option to keep in mind for future battery related needs and overall EV ownership.

I think your approach makes sense, especially using Level 2 charging when it’s convenient and avoiding unnecessary fast charging. I wouldn’t be too concerned about occasionally using a DC fast charger or charging above 80% when you need the extra range, though. The battery management system is designed for normal use. The larger battery and efficiency are definitely big advantages for road trips, especially when carrying gear and dogs. Coming from Porsche and Corvette ownership, I can also understand the appeal of the Gravity’s combination of performance, comfort, and engineering. It sounds like you made a well-considered choice.
