Nice to see such low degradation even with heavy fast charging, that’s reassuring long term.

TLDR Summary For frequent readers of the forum, I am part of the group that has had very few issues with my 2023 AT. The main things it needed after the original due bill were seat rehoming, replace front door sealing, and replace frunk sealing. That said, the car has been reliable and an...

This is not the correct measurement of degradation. For example, if your battery is unbalanced at all, letting it sit untouched for 72 hours at 100% SOC would potentially increase your “range.” The API has a battery health metric, though we don’t know how it’s calculated either.

...300 mile figure via 69 kWh. Also, it was not revealed if this new efficiency that the Cosmos will provide also improves upon battery degradation over time. My leased 2024 Lucid Air Pure over 20 months has experienced 18 mile loss at 100% charge, i.e. 408 miles new to 390 miles now. Also, no...

But seriously, you have noticed an estimate of one mile lower for a 2023 car? I'd be pretty happy with that degree of battery degradation, assuming it is real. If you have ever used any rechargeable devices or batteries, I'm sure you know they don't hold the same capacity forever.

I said "concerns about battery life," not that they actually had significant degradation. Reuters or someone just reported that used EV sales are starting to ramp up with the Iran war and the price of gasoline increasing dramatically.

But batteries don’t degrade much…..and even cars under warranty gave depreciated, maybe a combination if these things. The manufacturer incentives don’t help either.

EVs depreciate not because of software, which for many marques are applied to older vehices as well, but because of drivetrain improvements and concerns about battery life. New batteries better than old batteries, both in terms of original capacity as well as degradation.

Having used hi-speed charging almost exclusively in my first 28 months and 21k miles, I have discovered one very reliable data point. Assuming a reasonable outside temperate and no station-driven power limitations... whatever my initial SOC may be, it will take my Air just under 35 minutes to...

That's typically recommended for all EVs with the Lithium NMC battery packs (like Lucid Air). Some long-term battery degradation is inevitable, but some things will make it worse. One of these is letting it set for a period of time with the battery near 100& or 0% state of charge. Being...

Stick to 80%. See my post above. Frequently draining below 20% or charging above 80% leads to faster battery degradation. If you are using 30% battery for the 150 miles, you can probably get away with charging to 70% if you want to optimize, keeping the charge between 40% - 70%.

Yes, this is all future charger infrastructure, except maybe if in semis and they build out megawatt level chargers. Otherwise about 2.3c roughly is what a 400kw (rare still today) is what a 175kwh pack could charge, but that is about the very rough energy a pack could be in Lucid’s gravity lots...

The battery pack and rear drive unit had to be replaced in our Air about a year into ownership. It has been reported that when Lucid changes a battery pack they do not necessarily install a new one but instead use one "equivalent" in condition. So that's a bit of a wild card in trying to gauge...

Usable is not the rated capacity. Your newer Gravity matches mine: 117.39 kWh usable (not 123 kWh). Your Air gives health directly: 93.0% (backward calculating, 112.4 kWh usable at 100% health). Your Gravities are at 100% and 99.31%.

Here's the battery data on our three Lucids which might help illustrate degradation with age and mileage: 2022 Air Dream Edition / 43,473 miles: 2026 Gravity Dream Edition / 5,828 miles: 2026 Gravity Dream Edition / 819 miles: This shows our 2022 Air battery capacity is now down to...

I wonder if there is anything special about this car :) I'm in Austin, Texas, normally warm weather and however I tried, I couldn't go beyond 3-3.05 mi/kwh. Mine is GT 7 seater 20/21 wheels.

How fast are you going on those commutes?

...Two other factors that I can think of for the improved efficiency (in addition to mechanical systems breaking in). Charge loss (battery degradation) through formation/growth of SEI. This is why Lucid is saying you’ll get better range after 2k miles, although 2k isn’t a magic number. This...

Posters on this forum also tout the benefits of having your battery resting for longer periods of time somewhere between 35-55% SoC to minimize degradation

NIO takes care of the batteries. It's far more efficient. You swap it at a station, it gets charged optimally from 10-93% on L2, it's even better for people who don't care about taking care of the battery. It's a whole pack change, no difference from current battery tech, still gets recycled...
