Quick verdict
The Lucid Air has the higher published DC charging figure at 300 kW, but the published charge-time data matters more for road-trip stops. The Audi e-tron GT is listed at about 19 minutes versus 27 minutes for the Lucid Air. The Lucid Air is more efficient at approximately 122 Wh/km. The Lucid Air offers more WLTP rated range at 960 km.
Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Audi e-tron GT | Lucid Air |
|---|---|---|
| Compared variant | quattro (2021-2024) | Grand Touring |
| Battery (approx.) | ~83.7 kWh | ~117 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~487 km | ~960 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~202 Wh/km | ~122 Wh/km |
| DC fast charging (published) | up to 268 kW | up to 300 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~19 min | ~27 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW (22 kW optional) | up to 22 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Lucid Air has the higher published DC charging figure at 300 kW, which is roughly 12% higher than the Audi e-tron GT at 268 kW. In practice, that figure 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 published fast-charge window, the Audi e-tron GT is listed at about 19 minutes, which is 8 minutes quicker than the Lucid Air at 27 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 960 km, which is roughly 473 km more than the Audi e-tron GT at approximately 487 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 122 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 published DC figure at up to 300 kW, but the Audi e-tron GT has the shorter published charge time at approximately 19 minutes versus approximately 27 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
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 122 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 960 km, which is roughly 473 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.
