60 - 70, but its the potholes and uneven joints of highway to overpass. I always seemed to find the worst ones on my commutes through and around Baltimore city (BW Parkway in particular). I have 19" on remaining 2 BMW = no problemsBy the way, I've had an x6 with run flats since 2014, 70k miles and two tire replacements -never had a breakage, how fast or where do you drive???
Charger itself was $800 from Amazon.. installation took another $800... So total.. $ 1600.. but I love the charger and the whole setup... There are other chargers on the market for around $400 or so but I found they didn't have as many features so splurged a bit more on Chargepoint Charger..
Besides cost, is there a reason you didn't go with the lucid charger?
Yes.. I actually bought the Lucid charger for $1200.. and then returned it...
This is not true; all AC L2 charging is going to affect the battery the same way. Doesn’t matter whether you’re charging at 48A or 80A. The “fast charging” that degrades the battery more is the higher voltage DC fast charging you’ll find at Electrify America, EVGo, etc.
This was fixed quickly in a firmware update, just fyi. This is no longer the case.
This is great.. thanks for the feedback.. there's two things, at a micro-level, higher amps (Current) getting pushed into a lithium battery faster (Time) will be more degrading (More heat etc.) but spread over many batteries in the car's battery pack, I agree it may not be as significant an overall observable effect.. but the relationship between faster charge rates and higher amps degrading storage for lithium batteries is well established... Even for our cellphones this is true.. so there's the classic engineering tradeoff..This is not true; all AC L2 charging is going to affect the battery the same way.

The rest of your points made perfect sense, of course, for you - just wanted to clarify some misinformation.
Congrats. And let's see some pics when you get a chance.
Yes, al The charging units can plug into regular outlets, either a 110 or 220v. For the Lucid, I would recommend a 220v. If you have an electric dryer outlet in the garage, that is the best one to use. You can also have the units hard-wired into a circuit, usually 50 amps. The current you pull will be 80% of the circuit rating. For example, if you have a 50 amp circuit, you can pull 40 amps to charge the car. If you have other questions, I am happy to help.
Thank you! I looked it up and it seems I have 110v (only) in the garage. My W/D is in my laundry room so can't use that outlet. Is there anything to be concerned about using the 110v?
It (110j is just VERY slow. You will have it plugged in 24-7. If you drive a lot, it might not replenish fast enough.
If you have empty slots left. Even if you don’t, electrician is table to merge slots with compound breakers to render more slots.
Nice comparison. These are silver and Grey?Your car looks great and is very encouraging. I was at the private event in Tysons Corner VA yesterday and was able to see different car combinations side by side. I hated my configuration of grey, and the 19" rims looked really bad, compared to the 20" and 21". The silver color. Which is really a light shade of grey also stood out. "Unfortunately" my car is already built in CA and will soon be on its way to Chicago for inspection so no more changes.
This photo is really encouraging so I guess the bad weather had an effect yesterday. I opted for 19"s because of various posts about blowouts, I'm wondering if the 20s also have that problem. Btw does yours have the wheel caps for improved range over them? Attaching some pictures I took
