The company has already constructed a prototype of a 300-kilowatt hour stationary battery storage system at its engineering lab, Lucid’s Chief Engineer and Senior VP of Product Eric Bach told TechCrunch.
The battery-cell modules that power Lucid’s vehicles are identical to the ones that will be used for energy storage, making them well-suited for “second-life” purposes, according to the company.

While Lucid is still years from having to contend with a large number of used batteries - its first EV, the luxury Lucid Air sedan, isn’t coming to market until the second half of 2021 - the company is already planning how to give them a second life them in a yet-to-be-launched energy storage business.

Lucid Motors has designed the battery packs in its luxury electric vehicle for two lives.
