Charging Lucid Electric Cars
Charging Lucid Electric Cars
Lucid Motors are a California-based EV company manufacturing boundary-pushing luxury EVs. They aim to design' liberating cars', offering sustainable travel in a luxurious yet highly functional fashion.
In 2021, their Dream Edition Air model was released with an impressive range of 520 miles on a single charge – the longest range of any EV rated by the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency).
Lucid has a fantastic variety of tech funders backing them and recently announced a collaboration with Amazon – announcing they would install Alexa virtual assistants in future vehicles. With plans to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible with EVs, now is a great time to invest in the hyper-modern technology Lucid offers.
If you have a Lucid vehicle or are interested in getting one, it'll be important for you to know how to charge your EV properly. Using high-quality, expert charging equipment will help you get the most from your Lucid Motors EV, so you can continue to maximise your electrified vehicle's potential and get the best possible performance.

Lucid EVs Charging Cables
To get the best charge for your Lucid Motor EV, you will need to use high-quality charging cables that can efficiently carry the current to your car's battery.
Using low-quality cables can result in energy loss and even battery damage – limiting your EV performance. If you have decided to invest in an EV, it's important that you find quality equipment that will maximise your EVs performance and allow you the full extent of its range.
Here at Smartly, we have a range of exceptional charging cables suitable for us with Lucid Motor EVs. Our cables are manufactured here in the UK, and we use only the best quality materials to ensure their performance is top-notch. Take a look at our:

Lucid EV Chargers
Investing in a home-charging point can be a great way to save money and charge your electric vehicle. We offer a range of suitable chargers for the Lucid EVs here at Smartly.
Here are just some of the chargers we stock:
A 7.4kW single-phase charger is generally recommended for home use, as most EVs won't require a higher current than this to charge at home. Most homes are also not equipped with the three-phase power supply needed for a more powerful charger.
You can find the full selection of chargers on our website. We do not recommend three-phase chargers for home usage, as most homes will not have a suitable three-phase power supply to accommodate them.
