Frequently asked questions
What are the Lucid Gravity and Smart #5 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 375 miles for the Lucid Gravity and 202 miles for the Smart #5 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Lucid Gravity goes roughly 173 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 15 minutes in the Lucid Gravity and 30 in the Smart #5, so the Lucid Gravity loses less time at each stop. That makes the Lucid Gravity the stronger long-distance car.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Lucid Gravity or the Smart #5?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Lucid Gravity and 90% for the Smart #5. That gives the Smart #5 a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Smart #5's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Lucid Gravity's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use.
