    New SAE Standard for NACS: Request to Decode

    Tesla paid some lobbyist to get a recent interpretation on the NEVI rules that funds any charger capable of putting out any single voltage between 250V and 920V not all voltages between 250V and 920V. Under this interpretation, a charger that supplied 260V, that would not even charge a Tesla...

    Lucid Air Grand Touring Gets Even Better for 2024

    I have not seen anything on the Sapphire or 2024 GT, everything else has the same 10kW system.

    Lucid Air Grand Touring Gets Even Better for 2024

    Keep in mind the cell chemistry is a second order affect on DC fast charging speed. The biggest impact comes from thermal capacity of the battery cooling. The reason the new Taycan's charge quickly into high SOC is they have a 20kW cooling system. The current Air lineup has a 10kW medium power...

    Rivian is killing it on software!

    The Rivian design is excellent and matches their intended use very well. The interior design is well thought out and the materials again match their intended use. I love the Rivian design. However, the battery and drivetrain technology is nothing special. It charges slow because of poor battery...

    Need Referral Please

    It is not yet available for second owners. We hear Lucid is working on it though.

    Lucid Air Grand Touring Gets Even Better for 2024

    I would not be surprised to see the heat pump in the Touring and Pure for 2025. Lucid is demonstrating that improvements developed for new vehicles will eventually be added into the existing models.

    New HV Battery

    Drive it to a low SOC and then charge to a high SOC so the BMS sees the full battery voltage range. I do not know if Lucid does some BMS calibration based on voltage over a broad SOC but many products do.

    Lucid Air Grand Touring Gets Even Better for 2024

    It is great to see the improvements developed for Sapphire and Gravity being applied to the 2024 Air!

    First road trip - TX/OK

    I usually get 3.2 m/kWhr at 75 mph with 21" wheels. The OP with 19" wheels should be able to easily get that even at 80 mph.

    First road trip - TX/OK

    I think that @BS8899 is talking about 21" wheels and you are talking about 19" wheels so i tend to believe both of you.

    Rivian is killing it on software!

    Or does it mean that the chargers are currently capable of 300kW but only support 200kW into the current Rivian vehicles due to the 400V architecture. This interpretation also implies that Rivian will move to a 800V architecture in the future. Does anyone have a picture of the cabinets behind...

    Can you tell the start / stop times of charging when you have it charging overnight

    I get IOS notifications for both level 2 and DC fast charging. I am not sure why you are not seeing the level 2 notifications.

    Looks like Brooks from Drag Times finally got his hands on a Sapphire....

    We fixed that for you.

    Rivian is killing it on software!

    I thought that the Rivian Adventure Network chargers were 920V https://insideevs.com/news/490913/rivian-adventure-network-charger-specs-design/

    EA - Charging power Limited

    I am not sure how much control EA has in real time but they do throttle the charging speeds at times. Other factors such a load at the site, thermal limit on charger or cable can also limit charging speed.
