  • Page 25: In Case Of Fire

    The below recommendations are from the Energy Security Agency (ESA), leaders in Electric Vehicle (EV) fire safety and destructive testing of lithium-ion batteries. The views and opinions Below are not those of LUCID MOTORS. Energy Security Agency (ESA) has determined the following after research and/or testing of the referenced vehicle.
  • Page 26 Is there the ability to let the vehicle burn in a safe controlled manner? 4. Water Supply ESA DOES NOT recommend the use of FOAM or other agents to extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire in the Lucid Air. If necessary, an ABC extinguisher can be used to mitigate the fire conditions only for a short period of time. ABC and/or foam may be used on non-battery components of the vehicle.
  • Page 27 Extreme caution should be taken prior to any ventilation attempts or opening of doors or windows on the vehicle, as the introduction of fresh air may bring the atmospheric conditions back into the explosive range and result in an explosion if fire or other ignition sources are present.
  • Page 28 After the initial knock down fire departments must flow water into the vent points or openings created by the fire within the battery pack. Use a ¼ open bail or comparable amounts of water to fill vent points. Remember in Lucid Air, manufactured vent point will not be accessible.
  • Page 29 The amount of time that it takes for a heat signature to appear on a Lucid battery pack may be extended due to a protective, composite plate between the battery cells and the exterior enclosure.

  • Page 30: In Case Of Submersion

    7. In case of submersion Treat a submerged Lucid Air like any other submerged vehicle. The body of a Lucid Air does not present a greater risk of shock while it is in water. However, wear appropriate PPE when handling any submerged vehicle. Remove the vehicle from the water and continue with normal high-voltage disabling.

  • Page 31: Towing / Transportation / Storage

    Vehicle Towing and Recovery Methods Lucid recommends these vehicle recovery methods: 1. High-Speed Dolly High-speed dolly systems support the vehicle’s rear wheels, while a tow vehicle supports the front wheels. This is Lucid’s preferred recovery option. Always follow recovery equipment’s manufacturer instructions for use.
  • Page 32 If you know or suspect that the high-voltage battery pack has been severely damaged, do not move the vehicle unless it is necessary for safety reasons to do so, and contact Lucid Customer Care. NOTE: All four wheels must remain off the ground when towing or transporting the vehicle.
  • Page 33 12V power is present, the Lucid Air can be pushed to clear the roadway. If a driver is present, shift the Lucid Air into Neutral (N), and push the vehicle. If a driver is not present, the Lucid Air may shift into Park (P) when it detects the driver leaving the vehicle, even if it has previously been shifted into N.
