2022 Lucid Air Battery Information

About the Vehicle Batteries

WARNING: Only a Lucid Service Center should service the high-voltage battery pack. Improper handling can result in death or serious injury. There are two types of batteries powering your vehicle: a high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack that powers the vehicle’s electric powertrain motors and two 12V AGM batteries that power systems such as the infotainment displays and safety systems.
ENVIRONMENTAL: Please recycle in accordance with local regulations.

High Voltage Battery Pack Care

Storage temperature
CAUTION: Avoid exposing your vehicle to ambient temperatures above 113°F (45°C) or below -4F (-20°C) for more than 24 hours at a time. Prolonged exposure can greatly reduce battery pack life and performance. If it is necessary to exceed these guidelines, whenever possible plug the vehicle in to a charging source to provide reliable thermal conditioning of the battery pack.
Extreme temperatures can damage the battery pack. If possible, avoid parking in direct sunlight, especially on hot, sunny days. Lucid also recommends that you keep your vehicle sheltered or parked in a garage whenever possible in extremely cold weather.

Preserving high voltage battery pack health
The most effective way to prolong the battery (when not driving) is to leave it plugged into a
charging source. Setting the charge level to “Daily” usage helps preserve battery health.
CAUTION: When the vehicle is not in use for long periods of time, it’s necessary to plug into a charging source and set the charge target to the minimum “Daily” value.
When your vehicle is left idle and unplugged, the battery pack gradually discharges over time. Allowing the battery pack to completely discharge to 0 mi/0 km could cause permanent damage. Battery pack life and performance are greatly improved by maintaining a healthy state of charge (generally between 40% and 80%).

When the remaining battery pack charge falls below the 50 mi/80 km range, the Cockpit Panel shows a yellow low battery indicator.
When the battery pack charge level falls below 10 mi/16 km, warnings display on the Cockpit Panel. Proceed to the nearest charging station as soon as possible in order to avoid a vehicle shutdown.
When poor battery pack health is detected, the Cockpit Panel displays a warning indicator.

As is normal with all lithium-ion batteries, battery pack performance degrades over time. When the battery pack needs service, the Pilot Panel displays a warning and you should contact Lucid Customer Care to schedule service.
