Under the banner of “Lucid Recharged Certified Pre-Owned”, the US manufacturer will initially offer second-hand Lucid Air EVs in four European markets.
At launch, the programme covers Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Norway. Available vehicles are offered via the manufacturer’s online inventory. The electric SUV Gravity is set to be added to the programme at a later date.
Inclusion in the ‘Lucid Recharged’ scheme comes with several clear requirements: vehicles must be no more than five years old and have fewer than 100,000 kilometres on the odometer. According to Lucid, eligible vehicles then undergo a 163-point inspection before sale and are refurbished to the company’s own retail standards. Buyers also receive documentation on the condition and history of the respective vehicle.
Lucid Recharged includes at least one year’s warranty
Any remaining periods of the original new-car warranty remain valid. Additionally, every certified pre-owned vehicle includes at least one year of Lucid warranty and roadside assistance.
On the German pre-owned vehicle page (link in German), several Lucid Air Pure models are currently listed for €70,836 euros each. The new Air Pure currently starts at €85,900. This means that these vehicles can be purchased for around €15,000 less than they cost brand-new.
The programme may be particularly interesting for buyers looking to enter the brand: until now, Lucid has almost exclusively sold high-end new vehicles in Europe. Depending on the variant, the Air achieves up to 960 kilometres of WLTP range and power outputs of up to 920 kW. With certified pre-owned vehicles, the manufacturer is now creating an additional entry point to its existing model range.
The programme is launching at a time when Lucid is restructuring its business. Under CEO Silvio Napoli, the company aims to save around US$1.4 billion in 2026. At the same time, the launch of the planned mid-range models has been postponed to the second half of 2027.
Until then, Lucid will remain positioned primarily in the premium segment with the Air and Gravity. ‘Lucid Recharged’ now expands this offering to include a pre-owned channel that can reach additional customer groups while more strongly tying the residual value and service protection of the vehicles to the manufacturer.
