I live in NJ. The Lucid home charger is not listed as a approved Level 2 charger, so it does not qualify for rebates. I purchased a Chargepoint Level 2. I tried to charge my car last night and the car did not charge. I called Lucid Support and was told that only a Lucid home charger will work for scheduled charging. Is this information correct? If yes I may seek to return the car.
Thanks
Ted
 
That is not correct. Make sure you disable any charging schedule in the Chargepoint app though and use the schedule in the car instead. There have been issues with charger schedules not waking up the car properly to get it to charge, while the schedule feature in the car mostly works. Also, did you get any message about a charging error, or did it just do nothing?

Multiple Lucid owners have different home chargers, and they work with Lucid fine, although you might need to configure them correctly. For example, with Tesla brand, you need to make sure you "commission" it as "all" and not just "Tesla."

I guess you mean that the Chargepoint Schedule Feature doesn't work with Lucid, but it does work immediately when you plug it in.

Thank you for the information. I will try to figure out how to schedule the car. Unfortunately in NJ there are no dealers who can offer information and guidance. Therefore it is difficult to come up to speed with the car - which is great.

Thank you for responding. I will try to change the charger to all. If that does not work I will perform the fix from segbrk.
I appreciate the help

From the manual:

Does anyone have any experience with the EVIQO charger? I just received it after reading a couple of glowing reviews, one by Tom Moloughney. It also appears to get rave reviews from owners. My initial impression is that it seems very well made, the software well thought out and setup went without a hitch. I already have a ChargePoint Home Flex.
 
I use an Enel X charger as required by my local utility to get an attractive TOU rate plan. It works great. The Lucid drives the process and the Lucid scheduled charging function works flawlessly. The charger cannot wake up the car so it’s scheduled charging function is irrelevant.
 
I use a 7 year old evGO charger and it works fine for the most part, except when charging is complete, the charger faults. But as long as it charges, I don't care.
 
I use chargepoint and love it. The app is great.

You can use the scheduled charging by engaging the enel x scheduling AFTER plugging in the car and using the built in lucid schedule charging. Using this you can specify an end time for TOU charging.
 
I've actually been charging my Lucid on a 2nd Gen Tesla charger and a 10 year old EV Motorwerks Juicebox (now call enelx). I've noticed that you can't use the chargers scheduled charging functionality but otherwise, works very perfectly on both.
 
I use my old Tesla charger at home with a CCS Adapter so you do not need a Lucid One. Maybe the installer did not configure it correctly?

Ted, I'm curious. Would you really try to return the car if you couldn't get your Chargepoint charger to work? Seems like a weird choice 🤷‍♂️.
Have you tried the suggestion to disable the Chargepoint scheduled charging and use the car's scheduled charging instead?
