Lucid Air Dream Edition R EV charger: which one fits best?
The Lucid Air Dream Edition R is the long range version of the Air. It carries a 118 kWh battery and a range of around 837 km. That big pack asks for a solid charger at home. The Dream Edition R accepts up to 22 kW of alternating current, twice as much as most EVs. To put that range back in one night, a 22 kW charger is the practical maximum at home. Wallbox Discounter has a separate page for each Air version, gathered in the overview of Lucid EV chargers.
For the Lucid Air Dream Edition R we recommend a charger from our 22 kW EV chargers.
Is your home connection lighter than that? An 11 kW EV charger also fills this battery. It just needs about 11 hours instead of 5.5.

Which EV charger suits the Lucid Air Dream Edition R?
The Dream Edition R takes up to 22 kW on AC. A 22 kW charger therefore makes a real difference here. An 11 kW model needs a full night for this battery, while 22 kW roughly halves that.
Two features matter on a pack this size. A charger with a built-in MID meter has a certified kWh meter on board. It measures the power you charge at home, separate from your household use. So you know what a charging session costs.
A charger with dynamic load balancing watches the whole house. It lowers its own power as soon as the rest of your home needs it. That keeps the main fuse safe while the car pulls 22 kW.
Browse all 22 kW EV chargers in our range. The Dream Edition R has a Type 2 socket, just like most modern chargers. Whether you need a Type 2 charging cable at home depends on the charger you pick. Some models come with a fixed cable, others have a socket for your own cable.
How long does the Lucid Air Dream Edition R take to charge?
The Dream Edition R has roughly 117 kWh of usable battery. With a 22 kW charger a full charge takes about 5.5 hours, which fits into one night. If your connection only delivers 11 kW, that grows to about 11 hours.
Not sure what your own car accepts on AC? Check the vehicle documents or the charging screen in the car. On a long trip you use a rapid charger. On DC the Dream Edition R takes up to 300 kW, thanks to its 800V architecture.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Lucid Air Dream Edition R really charge at 22 kW at home?
Yes, up to 22 kW. The Dream Edition R has an onboard charger that accepts that much alternating current. Most EVs stop at 11 kW on AC. You do need a three-phase connection of 32 amps per phase at home. Check the vehicle documents for your own car. Without that connection the car charges at a lower power and needs more time.
Do I need an EV charger with a MID meter?
Not for the charging itself, but it does pay off. A MID-certified kWh meter records exactly how much you charge at home, separate from your household use. So you always see what a charging session costs you. Have the connection made by a qualified installer, which is safer and matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. For Germany that runs through a free quotation.
