The 800+bhp Lucid Gravity can now use Tesla's Supercharger network

The Model X-rivalling Lucid Gravity can now use Tesla's Supercharger network in North America, and doesn't need a special adaptor to do so.

Yep, the performance SUV comes equipped with the NACS port. That's the North American Charging System designed by Tesla and now adopted as the standard plug-in device across the region.

Although Ford and Mercedes are among other carmakers adopting the NACS standard, extra kit is needed to make the connections work. The Lucid's the first non-Tesla car to go on sale with it ready to go.

Lucid tells us it's also switched about the battery cells, integrating new Panasonic battery chemistry, and the result is... many Important Numbers. So: the 123kWh battery pack can accept a 400kW-peak-recharge from 1000V chargers, or up to 225kW from 500V rapid chargers, including Tesla's V3 superchargers.

Or, in Human English: on a good day at the right charger, the Gravity can get around 200 miles of range back in less than 12 minutes. Swift stuff.

Lucid also said it has adaptors that will connect to CCS1 sockets, which is important. Why? It looks like the Gravity is heading to European shores later this year (though we haven't been told when) and that's the rapid charging socket-type more common over here.

Elsewhere, its other model, the Lucid Air will also be able to charge on the Supercharger network from the summer. More as we get it.
