All Lucid routes are EV routes. Lucid EV routes are integrated with your vehicle range and consumption profile. It considers not just the current state of charge, road profile, temperature, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and traffic conditions, but it also predicts your unique vehicle consumption over time under those conditions.
Once a location is specified, the map will display an overview of the proposed route on both the center Glass Cockpit Panel and the Pilot Panel. Up to three route options will be shown, each with its own written summary and visual display on the map. The recommended top option is the fastest route (the least driving time), and it will be shown on the map in blue. Other alternative suggestions are shown on the map in gray. Traffic conditions on each route will be included. If charge stops are required, they will be auto-added to all three routes and will be displayed on all three routes.
Before you tap GO, you can preview and plan your route on the MY ROUTE screen, which will show up to three route options including the estimated time of arrival (ETA), total distance, and traffic conditions along the route. If the route requires charging stops to reach the destination, charging stops will automatically be added and shown on this screen as well.
Note: Because the Auto‑add Charging feature is enabled by default, the system automatically calculates the battery power needed for the trip and the recommended charging time for each charging stop.
Note: In some countries, DC FAST Chargers are not yet available. Therefore, the EV Routing feature will not be able to auto-add DC Charging Stops. In this case, Lucid recommends manually searching for nearby chargers and adding them as stops on your route. For manually added stops of any kind, even charging stops, the new route ETA will not be able to calculate an ETA that includes any potential charging time. Allow extra travel time if you manually add a charging stop.
Once the route has started, the turn-by-turn guidance instructions are shown on the top navigation screen. Lane guidance, exit numbers, and other guidance details will be displayed when appropriate. While routing, if the navigation is replaced with media or phone, navigation instructions will remain in view in the center Glass Cockpit Panel while a route is in progress.
The MANAGE tab summarizes the stops and their specific details. The DETAILS tab lists every turn and stop along your route.
When the system automatically adds charging stops, extra details are provided for each stop such as estimated percent on arrival, suggested plug type to use, suggested number of minutes to charge for, and suggested minimum percent to charge up to. This information will persistently show in both the DETAILS tab and the MANAGE tab until your route ends. You can also tap each waypoint on the route directly from the map view to see more details.
When starting a trip, the smart drawer will show a full list of instructions. This list automatically minimizes after thirty seconds in order to use the full screen for viewing your maps and route. The route will display all of your stops and traffic conditions. The smart drawer, with the list of instructions and details about your stops, can be manually reopened. You can add, reorder, or delete stops.
If at any point you deviate from the route, the system will quickly and automatically recalculate a new route and immediately give new guidance instructions.
While routing, if you have to stop and turn off the vehicle, and you come back and turn on the vehicle, the route will continue to be present on the screen.
Press END or use voice commands ("Cancel navigation") to end navigation.
The Lucid navigation system will periodically check that predicted charge on arrival is still correct. It checks everytime you finish charging, everytime you reach a low state of charge, and every fifteen minutes while routing. If the EV routing conditions have significantly changed and the route needs to be refreshed, a notification will appear and will ask you to agree to a new route.
If for some reason the EV route requires charging, but a fast charger could not be automatically added along the route, an Insufficient Charge notification will be shown inside navigation. In this case, we recommend that you manually search for charging. Usually, slow chargers can be found along the route and can be used.
Note: When routing starts, a mute button will appear on the top navigation screen, which enables you to turn off the audio guidance.
