Lucid owners will get full access to Tesla’s Supercharger network on July 31

Lucid EV owners will soon have full access to Tesla’s Supercharger network, which is something that’s been in the works since 2023. This goes live on July 31, allowing folks to juice up at more than 12,000 Supercharger stations throughout North America. Some of the company’s vehicles can already use these charging stations, with the Gravity SUV gaining access earlier this year.

That leaves the Air line of luxury EV sedans. These vehicles will be able to roll up to a Tesla Supercharger for a top-off at the end of the month, but there are some major caveats. First of all, Lucid Air EVs will require an official adapter that costs $220, as they don’t ship with a built-in NACS ports. This adapter won’t work with V1 or V2 charging stations, which whittles down the convenience factor a bit.

There’s another problem for Air owners. The adapter is limited to a 50kW peak charge rate, which provides around 200 miles of range per hour of charging. The Air can typically achieve a 300kW peak charge rate. Not only is this hobbled charge rate bad for Lucid Air devotees, it’s also annoying for people that own other EVs. Remember, the Air will have to sit at the charger for an entire hour, which will increase traffic at the station.

Luckily, there are other charging stations available that make use of that 300kW peak rate. Air owners can use stations by Electrify America, EVgo and ChargePoint for a quick jolt. It’s good to know that the Tesla Superchargers will be there in a pinch, which could come in handy during a road trip.

The company also recently unveiled the 2026 lineup of Air EVs. There’s the Lucid Air Pure, which is a relatively streamlined option. Prices for this one start at $70,900. The Lucid Air Touring boasts an estimated range of 431 miles per charge, which is a decent metric. It starts at $79,900. Finally, the Lucid Air Grand Touring is the baddest of the bunch, with an estimated range of 512 miles per charge. Prices start at $114,900, but the seats offer a massage feature.
