Performance

The Lucid Air Sapphire delivers a jaw-dropping maximum power of 920 KW (1251 hp/1234 bhp) and a massive total torque of 1390 Nm (1026 lb-ft). This powerhouse can rocket from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 1.95 seconds, showcasing its astonishing acceleration. Additionally, it achieves a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph), making it a true marvel of engineering and performance.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 118.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 117.0 kWh, providing a 1.0 kWh buffer (0.8%) for battery protection. Operating at a nominal voltage of 800 volts, it qualifies as an 800-volt battery system. This high voltage is pivotal in enabling the system’s charging capabilities.

According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standard, the vehicle has an range of 427 miles (687 km) with an energy consumption rate of 3.6 miles per kWh. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 300 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 73 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 29 minutes with an average charging speed of 171 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 0% to 45%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 175 kW, with each charging session taking about 18 minutes and 5 seconds. This efficient charging capability makes the Lucid Air Sapphire a convenient option for long-distance travel.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 21 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 8 hours and 52 minutes, requiring two charging stops from 0% to 40%, totaling 32 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 22 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full charge from 0 to 100% in about 5 hours and 19 minutes using a home setup.

Charge Port

The location of the charge port is on the left front side. This location makes it easy to charge stations where you park side into the charger.
