Lucid looks to solve all of life's EV charger problems by installing two charging ports (one NACS and one CCS) in its upcoming Gravity SUV.
Car companies are migrating from CCS to Tesla's charging standard, NACs, in order to get Supercharger access. Many charging stations still only support CCS, though. One report suggests Lucid will offer both ports during the transition period, rather than relying on adapters. Lucid has figured out a way to fix all of life's charging problems: just put two charge ports in the car.
This doesn't solve every charging problem, however, as it's worth calling out that both ports being in the driver's side means that curbside charging is a no-go, at least for any country where cars drive on the right side of the road. Rival automaker Rivian previously announced that it would launch its upcoming R2 SUV with a single charge port on the passenger side, specifically for European customers who would use curbside charging.
