Hey Borksi, do you have the Moen with the shut off valve? I looking at getting one. Do you like it?

this is great to know. I've NEVER stopped charging prior to unplugging the charger. Good to know!

Yay!!! I got the LHCS installed today! I'm so happy and relieved :) thanks to ALL OF YOU for your help and support!! I really appreciate you guys! From your advice, I confirmed that they torqued the terminals to the right specs (they initially did not have a torque wrench, and had to go grab...

100% !!

my thoughts exactly, between the ridiculous quotes and the nema 14-50, the latter makes much more sense! Fortunately, the 2nd company gave me a much more reasonable quote for the LHCS, $1k. They will install the subpanel right above the charger (instead of several feet away + ripping out all...

perfect, will explore this! thanks for ur help!

this is great to know. I should get a 2nd estimate tomorrow from a different company, will discuss this for sure. thanks!

Update, in case someone is in a similar situation in the future. The Aluminum wire in my current EV conduit is 4AWG, rated for 75A. Options provided by electrician: 1) re-wire the entire conduit with copper 2AWG for about $10K, 2) re-wire the 4AWG AL wire to a larger gauge AL wire with 100A...

Great to hear that you have a similar setup! Do you mind sharing your experience, what gauge Aluminum wire was ran to the subpanel (I'll like to compare with mine once the electrician determines the gauge of my current aluminum wire). Did they use anti-corrosion? How many amps is the subpanel...

good to know, never heard to chair lugs b4. thanks! So it turns out the wires that were previously installed by prior homeowners are Aluminum wires :oops: . I'm not sure about AL wire gauge and temperature rating yet, but LHCS requires 2AWG copper (90 deg) so the current wires don't meet that...

thanks Borski, great advice! I'll ask him to triple check and confirm the wire gauge/material for sure. thanks for the reminder re: torque. For the compression lug, the lucid installation guide does not specify, is this pretty standard regarding material/quality or should I confirm that the...

thank you for the wire amperage info! I will have the electrician confirm the type of the conductor that's already installed (AWG, copper, aluminum etc), and if it's less than what lucid requires (AWG 2 copper 90 degree), then I'll ask him to adjust the "dip" settings to match the conductor...

Hi guys, i'm looking for some guidance here. I'm brand new to EVs, literally 1 week new, I received my Air Touring last week and I'm absolutely loving it so far! I've read through as many of the charging threads as I could find, and perhaps I missed one that answers my question, but I'm...

Hi, I'm picking up my 2024 lucid Air Touring tomorrow (financing the car) and I'm super excited! Now, as I reviewed the purchase agreement today, I was struck to see that the purchase agreement did not include any provision for GAP insurance. BofA also does not offer GAP insurance. I went...
