Lucid Air and Gravity Can Now Be Plugged Into Tesla Superchargers
Lucid owners gain access to Tesla Superchargers, and there are changes in store for the Air luxury EV sedan.While Lucid has been on a software update spree, it seems there are more changes coming before the end of July. In an announcement outlining new changes to the 2026 Air sedan, Lucid also mentions that both the Air and the Gravity electric SUV will finally get access to the Tesla Supercharger network. How this will work will also slightly depend on which vehicle you’re in—basically, whether you need an adapter or not.
The Lucid Air still uses a J1772-CCS combo charge port design, meaning it'll require a $220 Lucid-approved adapter to plug into Tesla's Supercharger network. In another bummer, the Air will be limited (for now) to a weak 50-kW charge rate when using the adapter, so charge times will be far longer than at non-Tesla chargers. The Gravity SUV suffers no ill effects, because it comes with a NACS-style charge port that Tesla uses, so it won't need an adapter and can fully utilize Superchargers' speeds. Lucid owners who want to use a Tesla Supercharger can access it through the Lucid App with a credit card saved to their Lucid Wallet.
There is more good news for both the Air and the Gravity on the charging front as the Lucid Mobile Charging Cable Kit will now be standard on all models. This is a 40-amp capable charging cable that can connect to a 240-volt NEMA 14-50 outlet (the same four-prong plug that your dryer probably hooks into) that allows for up to 9.6-kW charging. There is a NEMA 5-15 (your standard three-prong house outlet) adapter for 120-volt, 12-amp charging (around a 1.4-kW charge rate) for when you can’t just find a NEMA 14-50 or an overnight charging station.
Hotter Air
For the 2026 Lucid Air, updates and improvements start with the Touring trim that gains six percent more driving range on the EPA cycle. This is thanks in part to new high-density battery cells that also give it the capability to charge at 250 kW. Now, you’ll be able to drive up to 431 miles before needing a recharge and do so at a much faster rate, decreasing downtime. The rest of the Air lineup maintains its 512-mile range, including the Air Grand Touring trim.
