Lucid Gravity Recognized for Best Public Charging Experience by MotorTrend 2026 Best Tech Awards

NEWARK, Calif., Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world’s most advanced electric vehicles, today announced that the Lucid Gravity SUV has been recognized by the MotorTrend Best Tech Awards for delivering the Best Public Charging Experience. The Best Tech Awards build on the rigorous testing and expert evaluations that underpin MotorTrend’s automotive content to highlight the most innovative software and technologies that improve the broader mobility experience.

“We are very proud that Lucid Gravity received the award for Best Public Charging Experience from MotorTrend as part of its Best Tech Awards program, recognizing the best and brightest in automotive innovations,” said Emad Dlala, SVP of Engineering & Digital at Lucid. “In developing our groundbreaking SUV, we built upon the incredible foundation laid out by the high-voltage platform of the Lucid Air. Lucid Gravity now features new advanced battery technology, a native NACS charge port, and boost-charging capabilities, making it one of the fastest charging vehicles available today and ensuring a quick, convenient public charging experience for our customers.”

Designed for a Seamless Charging Experience
Lucid Gravity redefines the SUV category with a clean-sheet design enabled by Lucid’s proprietary EV technology. Both vehicles in the current Lucid Gravity lineup – consisting of Grand Touring and Touring – offer the practicality of a full-size SUV within the footprint of a mid-size SUV, seating up to seven adults and delivering game-changing versatility. Setting them apart from the competition to win MotorTrend’s award for the Best Public Charging Experience, both also feature Lucid’s high-efficiency powertrain, native NACS compatibility, and ultra-fast charging battery system.

To enable Lucid Gravity’s superlative charging performance, Lucid developed and patented an innovative technology employing its proprietary rear motor drive unit to boost the charging voltage to match that of its battery pack. Unlike other solutions used by some competitors, this high-tech approach permits charging with the highest voltage that a charging station is capable of outputting and therefore enables the efficient utilization of electrical current and consequent reduction of cable heat. This novel technology allows full compatibility with 500V and 1000V charging networks, offering Lucid Gravity customers maximum charging speed on whatever charger is most accessible. Thanks to its innovative battery cell chemistry and new thermal system, Lucid Gravity reaches peak power of over 400kW and sustains a robust charging curve for longer, adding 200 miles in less than 11 minutes for the Grand Touring trim with its 123kWh battery pack, and 200 miles in 15 minutes for the Touring trim with an 89kWh battery pack.¹

With its native NACS port, public fast charging for Lucid Gravity is seamless with Plug & Charge access to more than 25,000 Tesla Superchargers and thousands of Electrify America DC fast-charging connectors. A multitude of additional DC fast-charging stations across North America are also supported. In addition, Lucid’s proprietary “Range Spider” Route Planner and Energy App features help users plan trips with a visual display of their estimated real-world range based on historical efficiency data, and further highlights all the potential and public fast charging stations within that range.

Customer orders for Lucid Gravity Grand Touring and Lucid Gravity Touring are now open in North America, with both trims available to be configured at lucidmotors.com/configure/gravity. In addition, select configurations are available for immediate delivery at lucidmotors.com/available-vehicles.
