If you are thinking the cost is 1K to wire up the charger, I would go for it.

Plenty of DCFC around Concord, NC. You will be able to find plenty IMO. https://www.plugshare.com/location/705880 (Have used this one a couple of times) https://www.plugshare.com/location/742731 (Coming Soon) https://www.plugshare.com/location/744673 (Right off 85 in Salisbury)...

Why not just look for any DCFC? EA is just 1 of many.

Yes I agree it is basically a "dumb" charger. I hate to say but I have recommend other chargers to people.

I say wait for the HUD if you go Gravity. Sure you can do without it but why if you want it. I would also test drive the Mercedes and Volvo before making a decision. You never know until you drive it.

My advice would be to drive both. Having owned quite a few Audi cars over the years, I personally feel you will get a more refined car with the Audi. Without a doubt you will have a better dealer support network with Audi. Not sure if Lucid is your first EV or not. Lucid is a fun car to drive...

I didn't realize this: Lucid Air Charging Tips 1. Even if you don’t need to recharge your battery, try to plug in whenever you can. This is because your vehicle can more easily regulate your battery’s temperature using an external power source, ensuring your battery health remains higher...

Yes I didn't think it installed anything on the phone.

Can you expand on what CarLinkit installs on your Android phone.

They do not but it is truly needed.

I have used the Concord Mills location plenty of times. Usually get in the 170-220 kW range. I used this mostly when I had free charging on my way to restaurants in the area. It can be busy at times given it is off Interstate 85. The Starbucks location is pretty new. I would expect it will be OK...

There is one for sale from Lucid. https://lucidmotors.com/inventory-vehicle?UUID=63ba575dc2947ed8769deaa7&shortCode=VULFTP&id=9100000022&zip=28227

What are you using to monitor your draw?

Thanks for the breakdown. Numbers are pretty close. 2024 Pure 19" : 420 EPA miles / 88kWh battery = 4.77 mi/kWh. 4.77 * 11.520 kW = 54.9 mi/hr. Car shows 52 mi/hr 2025 Touring 20" : 377 EPA miles / 92kWh battery = 4.09 mi/kWh. 4.09 * 11.520 kW = 47.2 mi/hr. Car shows 44 mi/hr

I am getting 11kW across all of the different Lucid models I have charged. All models in the past have charged faster than 44 mi/hr. Might not be useful to you but I like using this as a comparison.
