|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1, 120 V outlet (12 A) | 1.4 kW | 45 hr 15 min | 3.1 days |

| Level 2, 240 V, 48 A | 11.5 kW | 5 hr 39 min* | 9 hr 26 min* |
* Only if the car's onboard charger accepts that much power. On its EPA test it charged at about 10.9 kW; if that is its limit, a faster wall charger won't shorten the 10-hour full charge.

Cost to charge a Lucid Air
A full charge from empty draws about 108.6 kWh from the wall. At 18 cents per kWh it costs about $19.55, and a 20% to 80% top-up about $11.73. The EPA rates the Air Touring AWD with 19 inch wheels at 25.2 kWh per 100 miles, which works out to 4.5 cents a mile. The US average home rate was 18.16 cents per kWh in August 2026 (EIA); the EV charging cost calculator takes your own rate.
Lucid Air fast charging
DC fast charging bypasses the car's onboard charger and is far quicker, but the speed depends on each model's charging curve, which slows as the battery fills. That's why fast-charge times are quoted from 10% to 80%. The EPA doesn't test DC charging, so check Lucid's quoted figure for the Air. The EV charging curve guide explains why it slows.
