AI Driving Demand For Electricity And BMW Announcing V2H/V2G Coming Soon

[SaratogaLefty]

So WSJ reported today that AI will be driving demand for electricity faster than utilities may be able to deliver!! BMW has announced they will be providing V2H/V2G capability for their upcoming EV's. What is Lucid waiting for?? When will the promised V2H be available???

For their Neue Klasse models, which are coming in 2025... the "promise" is no different from what Lucid has stated.

I for one (stupidly) took the bait and trusted what they said would come to fruition but they're no different than any other company of overpromising and underdelivering. Bobby says it best, don't buy on what a company promises, buy on what it's sold with. It's all just marketing hype to move more vehicles.

It's also why when recommending Lucid to others I tell them to not fork out the $$ for DDPro now. Its simply not worth it when they haven't delivered a single thing to the suite for 18+ months and lets be honest, Highway Assist isn't a "Pro" feature. It should have come with the car from day 1. Will definitely be more cautious on my next Lucid purchase and probably take the "wait and see" approach before purchasing another one.

V2H capability will be common on many EVs by 2025-2026. Only the F150 and Leaf offer this currently. Polestar, Volvo, GM have stated they are working on it.

And hopefully utilities (are you listening PG&E??) will provide incentives to utilize V2G during high demand periods.
