Not at that charging rate, no matter how modern you chemistry is.

Sure, but say it cuts your charging cycles by 1/2, which reduces the life of your battery say from 1 million miles to 500,000 miles.

The car will fall apart well before then.

Lucid uses LFP's with a 900v arch and fast charger, with a 150k mile 10 or 8 year battery warranty including free replacement at 70% capacity. Must not be too worried. Tesla's LFP's routinely last 300k miles with a slightly slower charger than Lucids.

Uh no. The Lucid Air uses an NMC811 battery pack comprised of Samsung 50G 21700s, and charges at a peak speed of 300kW.

The 900V figure is the max charging voltage.
