WUNDERBOX ESTIMATED AVAILABILITY - 3Q2022 WAS: End of June 2022, delay is "regulatory testing"
First I heard an estimate for the Wunderbox.... That seems weird?

Yeah, pretty sure he meant EVSE - the wall mounted home charging station. The Wunderbox is onboard the car and obviously already availableFirst I heard an estimate for the Wunderbox.... That seems weird?
Ah, that makes a lot more sense...Yeah, pretty sure he meant EVSE - the wall mounted home charging station. The Wunderbox is onboard the car and obviously already available
Yeah, that's my bad. I started using the term Wunderbox Bi-Directional Charging and over time I shortened it to Wunderbox....I need to change that. Wunderbox is in the car now and can handle bi-directional once it is available.....Lucid Wall Charger is not yet available (estimated 3Q of 2022) but will be able to handle bi-directional....and the availability of bi-directional is always one quarter away.First I heard an estimate for the Wunderbox....

Think he was referring to the LCHCS and what else you have to install in order to have bidirectional power feed.Here’s some information via Lucid Mobile Charging Manual.
You can buy a Charge Point charger on Amazon for about $600 If you have 50 amps to hook it up to it will charge the car 40 miles in one hour.Yeah, that's my bad.

Or it will charge from 20% to 80% in less than 6 hours. The ChargePoint Flex is a great EVSE. We have lived ours.You can buy a Charge Point charger on Amazon for about $600 If you have 50 amps to hook it up to it will charge the car 40 miles in one hour.

I called Lucid some time back and got an email reply from someone on their charging team:It looks like this is confusing too many people. That's why Lucid needs to release something that describes what is going to be needed for bi-directional power near or in your CIRCUIT BREAKER panel.
I called Lucid some time back and got an email reply from someone on their charging team:
"[T]here is nothing currently that you can install to support bidirectionality beyond the charging station paired with the Air. As we near release of the bidirectional functionality, we will also provide specifics of additional hardware in the home that will be needed to manage the various loads coming in and out of the home, including to and from the Air."
This is in reference to my now-installed 100A breaker, with wiring to my garage connected to a 50A breaker connected to a 14-50 outlet. The plan eventually is to replace the 50A breaker and outlet with the Lucid charging station.
My primary panel is running short on space. I am planning to do a sub-panel next from a 240V 100 amp breaker on the primary. The second sub-panel will feed a 60 amp service for a (Emporia 48 amp) Lucid charger for now and a 30 amp breaker for my small emergency Generator and a 15amp 240V for my Emporia power monitoring solution. When they finally release the bidirectional charger and assuming it is not ungodly expensive, I will direct wire it into that secondary panel on a 100 amp breaker.Thanks!
Electrician is coming out today for estimate. We'll just have to brainstorm on ways to prep for whatever they eventually release.
Your comment prompted me to reach out to Lucid and request information I can provide my electrician to prepare for the vehicle. I explained I would have solar panels, battery storage in garage, would use Lucid battery to power home only in severe multi-day power outage, and would have ability to sell excess power to the power company. After the phone conversation I asked they email me everything they told me so that I could just hand it to my electrician. This is what I received:Thanks!

...be a way to disconnect from the breaker.
Almost certainly because it'll be required by your local code/utility.Thanks! They are still vague on that part. Are they suggesting we'll need a third party product?
I don't think so, and the internet hasn't helped me find one.is there a smart EV charger for those unluky folks like me who has only 110v.
