Lucid has introduced its Lucid Recharged certified pre-owned program to broaden its customer reach across four European nations. The manufacturer now offers refurbished Lucid Air models in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Norway.
Why it matters
The program aims to attract new buyer segments while allowing the manufacturer to maintain greater control over residual vehicle values and service protection. It also supports the company's broader effort to achieve 1.4 billion US dollars in savings during 2026.
Eligible pre-owned vehicles must be no older than five years with fewer than 100,000 kilometers on the odometer. Each car undergoes a 163-point inspection and includes at least one year of warranty and roadside assistance.
The players
Lucid
This is a California-based manufacturer of high-end electric vehicles known for the Lucid Air sedan and the upcoming Gravity SUV.
The details
Refurbished vehicles are sold through the manufacturer's online inventory after being restored to retail standards. While the Lucid Air currently features models with up to 920 kW of power and 960 kilometers of WLTP range, the company has delayed the launch of its mid-range models until the second half of 2027.
Timeline
The Lucid Recharged program officially launched on October 1, 2026.
The company aims to reach its 1.4 billion US dollars savings target throughout 2026.
The launch of new mid-range models is planned for the second half of 2027.
Roadmap
The introduction of this program aligns with a broader industry push to stabilize residual values and cultivate customer loyalty in the high-end electric vehicle market. By managing the secondary market, manufacturers like Lucid can better compete with traditional luxury brands that have long utilized certified pre-owned programs to control brand experience.
European buyers can now save approximately 15,000 euros on pre-owned Lucid Air Pure models compared to new units. Customers benefit from maintained access to the original new-car warranty and the added security of one year of certified warranty coverage.
The takeaway
Certified pre-owned programs provide a lower entry price for consumers while ensuring the manufacturer maintains brand standards after the initial sale. Prospective buyers should compare the remaining factory warranty coverage of these certified units against local financing incentives.
What happens next
Lucid Gravity models will be integrated into the Lucid Recharged program at a later date, and the company is scheduled to launch new mid-range models in the second half of 2027.
