    The API shows a value named "battery health level". What is it?

    ...says the 22 denotes module count, so Pure & Touring would have _18 and everything else would have _22. FWIW, the battery degradation typically has a steep drop off in the very beginning and then flattens out over time. So people with brand new cars would see a drastic drop down to 96% or...

    Buying a Lucid in the next 60 days

    Thank you! 10100 this afternoon I do long drives and I plan on doing quite a few. I have a business that is finally running Barry successfully on its own and I finally have the time in the resources to do whatever I want and I'm gonna travel in the lucid. I feel like right now the sweet spot...

    Lucid wont accept Extended warranty that DIRECT PAYS? WHAT?!?!?!

    ...and are just concerned about the mileage? ICE cars have engine wear and tear where mileage really matters. For EV’s, you have battery degradation, but I’ve heard reports of EV’s with 500k miles on them. Unless you have a specific reason for getting a newer car, I wouldn’t worry about...

    Buying a Lucid in the next 60 days

    ...If you value range, get the 19” wheels and not the 20” (smallest wheels). Wheels makes a big difference. Also, factor in 10%-20% battery degradation by the time you get to 200k miles. I like having a big battery as my daily drives fit within a 40% - 55% SOC window for optimal battery health...

    Thinking about buying a used Air, how can I tell how the previous owner charged it?

    You know you could just ask the person you are buying from at this point. 76 miles / .18 battery percentage = 422 of 446 rated miles. Matches the battery health value exactly from the testmycode.cc.

    Thinking about buying a used Air, how can I tell how the previous owner charged it?

    You don’t need to charge to 100%. Take the rated range and divide by your current charge state. I’m just curious if the rated range takes into account battery degradation or if it always reflects the new state. See my earlier post:

    Thinking about buying a used Air, how can I tell how the previous owner charged it?

    Is the degradation reflected in your rated range? What is your current rated range divided by SOC (and what size tires)?

    Thinking about buying a used Air, how can I tell how the previous owner charged it?

    94% of original battery health at 49k miles over 2.5 years (eg. 6% degradation). My guess is time has a far greater impact until you hit the 8% degradation mark where most of the cars are flattening out to. The website doesn't have a graph for time, but the wide spread would likely tighten up...

    Thinking about buying a used Air, how can I tell how the previous owner charged it?

    I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve had multiple EVs and tried different ways to protect the battery, and also tried doing absolutely nothing. They all had the same mild degradation and worked well.

    Thinking about buying a used Air, how can I tell how the previous owner charged it?

    Yes. You're right, that would be one way to calculate battery health. Divide the indicated remaining range by the current SOC percentage, then divide the result by the car's rated EPA range.

    Thinking about buying a used Air, how can I tell how the previous owner charged it?

    For those with older Air’s, does the Air’s in-car display take into account battery degradation for the rated range? The rated range for the Air Grand Touring should be: 19" wheels: 512 miles 20" wheels: 480 miles 21" wheels: 446 miles What number do you get when you divide the rated range by...

    Really nice efficiency!!! Almost wltp range 👍

    Goodbye and farewell after 40 months

    ...very large range. Between winter temperatures, driving in the mountains, adverse wind, not using 100% of capacity, and steady battery degradation as the years go by, a long range has a lot of appeal. If I actually got the EPA range, than Lucid's range would be more than I ever need. But...

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

    ...it will take care of you. While you can charge the battery way you like without worry, taking some simple steps can slow down the battery degradation. I agree with the general advice to not stress over battery charge. Occasional 100% charge and 0% discharge is fine when you need every mile...

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

    Thanks so much for your post! I wasn't aware of these differences; I will follow the manufacturer's (and your) advice and set the max charge level to 80%.

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

    ...be applied to another. As a career electrical engineer, I would guess that charging a Lucid car to 100% every day would increase battery degradation pretty significantly after a year or two. If you don't need to worry about range any more, why intentionally damage the battery by keeping it...

    New Home Charger Limited to 12amps

    ...This typically means I can charge my Air GT from 23% to 80% in about four hours or so. I've always cared desperately about battery degradation. Thankfully, I've lost only ten EPA rated miles in almost four years and 75,000 miles. Are you saying it would be a lot easier on the battery if...

    Leaving the car unlocked while it's in my garage

    ...I shutoff the front light and a/c cause everything is awake for about 20 to 30 minutes after that period doors handles retract but not the mirrors and everything looks as if the car was locked but for peace of mind I also let my drivers window open. I didn't notice any fob battery degradation.
