New Lucid equipment designed to be as slick because the Air

Lucid Motors is lastly prepared with branded equipment. The California EV maker tapped the identical members who designed the Air to work up the primary 4 aftermarket choices, sustaining a coherent aesthetic with the six-figure electrical sedan. In all probability essentially the most welcome merchandise for homeowners will the Related Dwelling Charging Station costing $1,200. The small, smooth, Wi-Fi-enabled black field maxes out Stage 2 AC charging functionality, supporting the 19.2-kW charging the Air is able to and injecting 80 miles of vary into the battery pack each hour. It’s also bi-directional, capable of return juice to a house power storage system by the “light-weight” 24-foot cable. The station doubles the charging energy of the cell charging cable all Air trims include, which tops out at 9.6-kW and is nice for 40 miles of vary for each hour plugged in.

It isn’t cheap, however that is priced like a luxurious merchandise for a luxurious car, and it is nonetheless lower than Ford’s Cost Station Professional that runs $1,310 retail. Tesla’s reworked its charging choices currently, placing out a third-gen Wall Connector for $400. That one is suitable with virtually all EVs, however it tops out at 11.5 kW, down from the second-gen charger’s 19.2-kW functionality.

The remainder of the equipment swimsuit the “lively way of life” of us carmakers continually pitch as the best demographic. The $500 black aluminum Crossbars hook cleanly into slots on the roof. They’ll assist 165 kilos, are mentioned to have “minimal affect on aerodynamics,” and work with a lot of commonplace Yakima mounts to carry outdoorsy gear. The Cargo Capsule was made to take a seat on these bars, including 11.47 cubic ft of cupboard space to the Air’s already voluminous 32.5 ft of inside load room with the second row seats up. It is a disgrace what the wind and components will do to the Capsule, although; the gloss and matte black end on the ABS shell is actual purdy. The case might be opened from both aspect of the car, and is fitted with inside lighting to allay rummaging at the hours of darkness. We’re nonetheless undecided why the Capsule prices $2,000, however we might like to seek out out.

Lastly, a $250 set of all-weather mats will assist preserve the Earth exterior the automotive as a substitute of changing into a part of the Air’s carpeting. Heavy responsibility, non-slip, waterproof, with raised edges to forestall spillage of grime, they’re shaded to match the Air’s inside choices in hues of Ceramic, Graphite, Saddle, and Black.   

Frankly, the final three bits of substances sound like preparation for the Lucid Gravity SUV supposedly coming subsequent 12 months, though press pics for the Gravity featured a slimmer rooftop field than the Air unit. 

The equipment might be ordered now at Lucid’s retailer, deliveries slated to start earlier than the tip of the 12 months. The house charging station is the one constrained merchandise, promoting in restricted portions till 2023.
