Quick verdict
The Lucid Air has a higher peak charging speed at 300 kW DC, but the Audi e-tron GT actually finishes the 10-80% charge faster (18 min vs 22 min) thanks to its smaller battery. The Lucid Air is more efficient at 163 Wh/km. The Lucid Air offers more WLTP rated range at 883 km.
Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Audi e-tron GT | Lucid Air |
|---|---|---|
| Battery (approx.) | ~83.7 kWh | ~117 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~488 km | ~883 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~202 Wh/km | ~163 Wh/km |
| Max DC charging | up to 270 kW | up to 300 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~18 min | ~22 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 19.2 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Lucid Air has a peak DC charging speed of 300 kW, which is roughly 11% faster than the Audi e-tron GT at 270 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Audi e-tron GT finishes in about 18 minutes, which is 4 minutes quicker than the Lucid Air at 22 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Lucid Air has a WLTP rated range of approximately 883 km, which is roughly 395 km more than the Audi e-tron GT at approximately 488 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Lucid Air consumes 163 Wh/km, compared to 202 Wh/km for the Audi e-tron GT. That means the Lucid Air uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Lucid Air has approximately 117 kWh of useable battery , while the Audi e-tron GT has approximately 83.7 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
The Lucid Air has the higher peak DC speed at up to 300 kW, but the Audi e-tron GT actually finishes the 10-80% charge faster at approximately 18 minutes versus approximately 22 minutes. That is because the Audi e-tron GT has a smaller battery to fill. On road trips, time at the plug matters more than peak power.
For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Lucid Air supports up to 19.2 kW, compared to 11 kW for the Audi e-tron GT. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Lucid Air is the more efficient choice at 163 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Lucid Air has a WLTP rated range of approximately 883 km, which is roughly 395 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
