Did they say refurbished or remanufactured? They are not the same thing. I’ve only ever seen Lucid use remanufactured batteries. Remanufacturing is the rebuilding of a product to specifications of the original manufactured product using a combination of reused, repaired and new parts. It...

There’s nothing wrong with a refurbished unit. Generally, they will replace your battery with one that has equal or less degradation than your prior battery.

The difference between the ideal being 20-80 or 20-55 may be down to chemistry. Teslas, for example, ramp fast charge down rapidly from ~30% onwards, and are pretty slow above 50%. Meanwhile I understand the Gravity will hold nearly full charge to 50%, while our Audi E-Tron GT and Hyundai held...

Two years in and still DC fast charging almost all the time to 75 or 80%. Battery health is still very good, maybe 4% degradation. I'll switch to L2 charging when my free three years at EA ends and then I may even charge 40-60% on a daily basis.

Comments as I am no expert nor ever owned an EV. I have driven a few tho: #1. totally agree and this will be my practice for long term (more than a week of not use) #2. Makes sense unless you are going on trip and the 'needs outweigh the rules' #3. this is an awesome recommendation. My cousin...

My guidelines would be a bit different than what's mentioned above. 1. Limit the amount of time the battery spends above 60% if you can. The battery degrades significantly faster when it sits highly charged. Close to 50% is ideal. If you can for example sit overnight at 55-65% and then charge...

Somewhat related - Our July 2018-build Model X has 113,000 miles on it. So far we’ve experienced 9% battery degradation. Almost seven years in, we’re seeing the rate of degradation slow dramatically. I’m still looking forward to ordering my Gravity and dumping our Model X, and its free...

I wonder if they just want the battery back to examine it for testing, engineering validation on degradation.

While I believe in thermodynamics and entropy, and that the batteries will develop defects and eventual fail over time, I think the EV industry as a whole should endeavor to better understand the degradation mechanisms and practices to preserve/extend/repair the battery in order to extend their...

I think my real world experience has been good towards disproving degradation, battery tech isn’t perfect and my battery will deteriorate. But I am of the opinion that people are very mislead in thinking the battery (at least Lucid’s architecture) needs to be baby’d. My Tesla model 3, sure...

...battery voltage gets higher when "fully charged" (i.e., 100% SoC)? Isn't this higher voltage a significant factor in promoting battery degradation? If so, > one would expect frequent DCFC to 100% SoC would like cause accelerated battery degradation (plating, dendrite growth, etc.). > But I...

Lithium batteries are sensitive to heat. And DC fast-charging creates a buttload of heat. Current EV battery packs simply are not designed with the intention of exclusive fast-charging. If Lucid decided on some form of throttling it might not be such a bad thing as it might just save your...

...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...

From others here I learned this is a long-time NTSB requirement, all cars must tell you you're moving just a little faster than you actually are, to allow for all the things that can UNDER-report your speed, and maybe to slightly reduce speeding behavior I don't know. I own three cars and three...

I don't think the information you've been given is correct. I have a '23 Pure AWD. Over the course of 12 months and 13.5k miles, I have charged almost exclusively with EA, and have noticed no such degradation. Bear in mind that I typically charge to 82% (gets me home five miles away at 80%)...

Based on your experience on the Pure, do you think it charges as fast as the other Lucid trims, including the AGT?

...about 65 kW when I hit 80%. I find this both interesting and acceptable... Especially if it means that I can count on my current (pun intended) low level of battery degradation. No, I won't try pulling in a 0% next time. Running the car down to 11% was as close as I want to get to range...

...leave it plugged in. Charging to 100% and leaving the car to sit at that SOC is absolutely not best practice. Long periods at 100% SOC will accelerate battery degradation. This is why a maximum charge level of 80% is recommended for daily driving. Charge to 100% only at the start of a long trip.
