Lucid ( LCID ) has confirmed that its new Gravity SUV will provide up to 450 miles of EPA-rated driving range. Powered by Panasonic's high-performance EV batteries, Lucid promises the Gravity is a “shocking new SUV class.” Here's what you need to know about Lucid's new EV.
The Lucid Gravity SUV will use Panasonic's new EV batteries
Lucid's new Gravity Grand Touring model will be powered by Panasonic Energy's lithium-ion EV battery cells to deliver “a previously impossible combination of outstanding width, performance and interior space.”
High-efficiency EV batteries deliver an EPA-rated range of up to 450 miles. The battery pack is up to 40% smaller, allowing for more driving range and interior room. This is also a big step forward in using fewer things.
Lucid's new SUV has “the interior space and performance of a full-size SUV,” including up to 120 cubic feet of cargo space. To put that into perspective, the 2025 Ford Explorer has a total cargo space of up to 85.5 cubic feet.
Panasonic's latest battery cells (2170 cylindrical lithium-ion) offer an energy density of over 800 Wh/L, an “industry breakthrough.” Lucid's Gravity electric SUV will be one of the first vehicles to incorporate the new battery cells at scale.
“Lucid Gravity is the first SUV that doesn't force customers to compromise,” according to CEO Peter Rawlinson.
Lucid worked with Panasonic, specifically designing the cells for maximum range, safety, performance, and longevity.
The milestone is the latest in a developing partnership that began in 2022. Lucid has secured a multi-year deal with Panasonic as it aims to establish itself as a true luxury EV maker.
After a fourth consecutive quarter of record deliveries, Lucid announced Monday that it delivered 10,241 vehicles in 2024, up 70% from 2023 (6,001).
Lucid began building Gravity Grand Touring models at its Arizona manufacturing facility in December 2024. The Gravity Touring trim starts at $94,900. Later this year, Lucid will begin production of Gravity Touring models, which will have a starting price of $79,900. The Touring trim will also be powered by Panasonic's latest EV battery cells.
Panasonic currently manufactures battery cells in Japan, but is expected to move production to its new Kansas facility soon.
