I love that actual practical engineering is being placed front and center in the EV revolution. It’s so satisfying.

So glad to be working at Lucid now

With every Tech Talk I fall more in love with my Lucid Air.

Eric: Now I'm gonna introduce two formulas from high school physics that we all remember. Me: Forgot high school physics as soon as I stopped having high school physics as a class.

Excellent video! I love how you do NOT shy away from using some simple math and charts to help explain your points. Your series of videos on the technical points of your vehicles are some of the best videos I have seen on youTube! Keep up the good work.

Thank you, Mr. Bach, for the opportunity to allow a very nontechnically inclined person such as myself to comprehend (in a very limited aspect) the basics of EV charging and the related systems.

Just incredible still cannot believe this is the first Lucid vehicle, amazing really amazing. Once Lucid solves mass manufacture will become one of the industries new generation legacy autos.

Lucid began as Atieva just over five years ago. Initially they were designing batteries and all the power electronics to supply OEMs as the EV revolution took hold. As we now know, five years ago the OEMs were not impressed with EVs and were happy to just buy off the shelf generic parts, so the name changed to Lucid, and they began designing a car. The Air's design and development has been ongoing for some years now. Lucid has a viable plan for growth and experienced management in place. Phase 2 of their factory expansion is well under way in Arizona.

What's in the booooooooooooooox Honestly though I'm excited to see this technology spread around!

I ordered myself a Lucid Air Pure about 6 weeks ago. Not sure when I’ll get it but I’m very excited. We now have two ford lightnings of many ordered for my solar business. I will be trading my mach E for the Air Pure and my gf will be getting a Rivian R1S. Exciting times and I feel confident that I will absolutely love the vehicle. Thank you Lucid

Since this video is 26 min long, you should have put the vehicle on charge in the background and at the end of the video, you can show that it did in fact charge under 22 min. Would have made the video more interesting PS. You can hire me for more interesting marketing tips like this 😉

Love what you guys are doing at Lucid! Please add a second charge port on the curb side of the vehicle. Seeing how the Wunderbox is situated it should be quite easy to add a connection on the opposite side. Even if it’s only level 2 it’d be useful. It’d be great for curb side chargers or give drivers the choice of parking nose-in or tail-in. Thanks!

Do a tech talk on your motors already! I’m on the edge of my seat!

it would be awesome if lucid ever decides to make their own in house battery cell for not only their products but for other OEMs. it would actually be a huge win for everyone.

WOW! During a disaster I can now go off the grid with my LUCID!!! I can power my house! INCREDIBLE!

Looking forward to the suitcase sized motor video with the transmission inside. Incredible engineering!

I love these series from Lucid. Keem em coming

Just took delivery today. Amazing!!!!

Thanks for this informative video!

The tech tachs are very well done. So are the sales locations. I visited the one in Palm Beach, Florida and was educated about their battery technology in the process. The 500 mile range has been independently proven, as I saw in independent test on the beltway in Phoenix (KZread post). I hope the Lucid Air is very successful.

brilliantly explained!

Lucid ESS is gonna be lit!!!!

Simply Amazing

I am so glad we ordered a Pure for delivery this Winter. Mr. Bach (my favorite composer...) mentioned a heater supply connection. Will heat be supplied by a heat pump? My dealer in Palm Beach, FL was "99%" sure that that was the case.

Big respect to these guys, I really learned a lot.

Thank you. This was wonderful.

Great presentation Mr Bach and Lucid team! The Air really is packed with innovations. Can’t wait to see what comes out next for Lucid!

Glad to see you guys talking about the wunderbox! What is next? How about discussing the lidar system? Given the major market leader insists that lidar is unnecessary, can Lucid produce a video that explains dream drive pro, how lidar is leverage, and what advantage lidar can provide over radar/camera based systems?

Excellent video. Glad to meet another engineer from Lucid's deep trove of talent. I love that Lucid speaks to us as adults in these _Tech Talk_ videos. Clearly there are details they are not yet ready to share, but I'm dying to see the inside of the drive unit. I'm unwilling to disassemble my Air GT though.

I was left speechless. That right there is true innovation, taking existing technology and reimagining how it might be better. I'm sure there is quite a bit more to this story. For instance, they seem to have already "inspired" parts of Mahle's new motor. I can't wait to see more!

Love it thanks for all informations

Please also consider making next tech talk about the Lucid external design

It's really mind blowing how new EV company managed to make this high tech system!

Using the same device for AC-to-DC onboard charging, DC-to-AC for export power, and ~400 V DC to ~900 V DC for lower-voltage DC chargers is an excellent use of components.

The 10 kW DC-to-DC converter to supply the refrigerant compressor and heater with only 400 V (which they call "medium voltage") is interesting - apparently it was cheaper or more practical to add this component than to get the compressor and heater built for them to run on the traction battery voltage.

Great tech!

Wow....I am in shock, will all this information.

Bidirectional Wunderbox explaining the reverse power flow as a mini-power station for V2X (V2Vehicle, V2Home, V2Buisiness) starts at 23" and is fascinating!

One question that I would add is whether a Lucid could power an external water pump, a turning lathe or similar? That is to say could a Lucid power a remote workshop?

from my experience working and learning the OBC design from other vendors, I have to say Lucid one is the most compact and elegant degisn that I have seen, it's probably the benchmark product for other OEM to learn, not just the design but the its features as well

This channel is the definition of quality over quantity.

is that Quantum Gray color for the Lucid in the background on the right side?

@othmanskn

Жыл бұрын

With the same wonderbox, it can charge the 25k car in 10 minutes, because it will have a much smaller battery. 200 mile range should be sufficient and with the lighter, cheaper and more efficient Lucid motor, its battery capacity and therefore it's weight and cost should be smaller as well.

In 17:58, the fuse is rated as 800V while the battery can see 924V. Is that a safety gap?

Is this car compatible for the gulf middle east weather?

There was a footnote in one part of the presentation that stated that the 900VDC architecture is NOT part of all Lucid vehicles. Is the Air Pure slated to include the 900V architecture, or is the non- 900V architecture to be applied to something else?

@oday3514

I have since learned that the Lucid Air Pure uses a 740 VDC architecture. It is still better than a Tesla, but not as good (for the reasons mentioned in the video) as the Lucid Air Touring or Gran Touring.

Yes, it will have the same functionality but less battery packs. That might affect output though since I do not believe it will have the 924v they mentioned as the Pure has lower rear passenger floor due to less battery packs.

@bW9taeH4

The battery range is much greater than what other EVs have, but the amount that you drive per day isn't going to be much different if at all. So it depends on how many miles you drive. It's likely to be under an hour each night, and I try to sleep far more than that. You can add up to 80 miles of range per hour, so 30 minutes should be more than enough for most people. Even if you come home with a nearly depleted battery, and charging starts at 11 pm, by 5 am you'd have at least 480 miles of range. If you came home with more than 40 miles of range, you'd be charged, but I doubt that most people who return from a trip long enough to go through almost 500 miles of range is going to get up at 5 am to take another 500 mile trip. But even if you do, it's possible. You should get more sleep though. More realistically if you just came back from a trip, an hour charge would be overkill for the next day's typical commute. And you'd typically have more than a few hours to charge.

This will affect the life of the car batteries, as the number of charging cycles is one of the most important factors for the longevity of electric cars But home batteries are usually used from cheaper materials. It's okay. After 10-12 years, changing the home batteries will not be expensive.

7:55 kudos to Lucid for being a rare company that acknowledges EVs actually do use fossil fuels BUT the solar panel free energy is misleading. Lithium batteries are enormously carbon-intensive to produce and they have a cycle life limit which is going to be partially used every time you charge regardless if it's Solo or fossil fuel based so this needs to be in the math, especially since your scenario literally involves a remote recharge. Solar panels also have a finite lifespan and are carbon-intensive to produce. Not "zero" at all.

Wunderbox, a so nice German description. Nice Box, still quite big for the technology inside, but... far away from that what the competitors are offering.

I’d love to see lucid making roads too, for self driving. I can see it now Lucid roads where it can charge wirelessly through network of smart roads. Metal detecting from car to road in wires constructed in the floor to keep the car centered in lane.

The structural strategy of your car is insufficient to get the needed 4 times crash safety needed to actually protect passengers. As a former airbag engineer, of bags, modules and sensors, your tech is outdated (and so are all other companies, so don't feel too bad). Airbags do NOT provide needed protection, and the car structural strategy needs to change... Hint. Happy to discuss. As for the Wunderbox, all this complexity is not needed with fuels and combustion. New Engine Type (NET) tech requires NO computers to operate, thus not needing rare earth metal and expensive parts. The complexity of the Lucid is insane and will doom the company to bankruptcy. Make it simple or go out of business. Friendly hint.
