The 10 - 80% charge time for Lucid is around 32 minutes so not extremely quick just state of the art. They use of the shelve Samsung 21700s so that’s not surprising. 900V doesn’t make the cells charge quicker it just helps with amperage for the charger, cables, busbars and connectors.
Forgive my relative ignorance here but doesn’t lucid use a fair few more cells to get the high range numbers for their cars? So wouldn’t they just have MORE cells to charge? Wouldn’t that make sense that they have a longer charge time going by percentage?
If they were limited by the charger (which they are not here) then yes it would take longer to go from 10 - 80 %. If that’s not the case then on the cell level it’s the same as the competition as you can see here.
In theory their large number of cells should help them on a range gained per minute basis but the mediocre cells and the methodology employed here seems to negate that.
