What is the maximum charge rate that you have seen?

It's just for the few seconds that the charger shows "initializing". The uppermost pins on EA's CCS connector don't always connect with the weight of the cable pulling the connector body down. See the 1-minute video. This is absolutely necessary to do on my Volvo EV to achieve better than a 50% success rate.
Lol I thought the “pull up slightly to initiate charge” tip was just something you found to just work. It’s a damn video from EA themselves

You'll see my comment on their video - that this info should be printed in bold type on every one of their chargers, not buried in a YouTube video.Lol I thought the “pull up slightly to initiate charge” tip was just something you found to just work. It’s a damn video from EA themselves

There was a recent Lucid Motors tech talk (not by Peter) that was excellent explaining a lot of this

I have seen and used 350 chargers in the spring. But here in Arizona when it got hot they all say "unavailable". I am wondering when the temps cool down perhaps the 350's will start working again. Who knows if this is a heat issue, strain on the grid issue or that EA 350 chargers are simply failing and will not come back to life.

I’ve gotten 275kW once. Also, have had 200kW a few times. The 150 EA are pretty consistently able to do 175kW.
I would love to see lots of 50kW chargers everywhere. Stop for shopping, coffee, lunch, dinner, rest stops…..
Why replicate the gas station model. Along interstates high power chargers, but the vast majority of miles are all close to home.
Incentivize home charging. Instead of free charging it at EA, rebates for charging at home.

I hear you, but that is more of a problem with EA than Lucid. I think the Gravity will do a lot better utilizing The Tesla network with the widespread implementation of V3and V4 chargers

You’re done with Lucid because you got 145kw max charging speed? What model do you have? GT or Touring or Pure? What were ambient temperatures? What was the lowest state of charge you’ve had when you plugged in? Do you have a L2 charger at home or only DC fast charge most of the time? It just strikes me as odd to be “I’d done with Lucid because I didn’t get the fastest charging speeds” and then provide zero specifics. I’ve gotten 301kw on my GT and 220kw in freezing temps on a properly pre-conditioned battery. My local EA is crap though and I’ve never gotten above 172kw even on their 350kw chargers. But that’s because EA is erratic, not Lucid.

I just don’t get your negativity about Lucid in general over something as trivial as your charge speed at fast chargers. Are they your only charging option? Do you precondition? Have you tried multiple different brands of DC chargers?
Are the other factors making you “done with Lucid?”

He's consistent if nothing else. Done in February and still done in April. Can't please everyone I guess
Big question, is he going to post again over his lease is up telling us he's still done? I'm waiting with bated breath to find out!
