Anyone know of bidirectional charging status?

[dscafetta]

Peter, is anyone listening? Can you PLEASE provide an update on the road map for bi-directional charging?

It’s still on the list from the recent tech day…..

Bi-directional between two vehicles has shipped. Gravity will have V2L. V2H is still under active development. No firm release date.

That's right from Eric Bach's mouth less than two months ago, at a public event.

Can't come too soon for this area!!

In the meantime, my fallback-plan Enphase PV + battery has been working pretty well.

Yeah but wouldn't it be great to have an extra 118 kWh battery...for free?

That it would! For this to really make sense with home solar energy management (PV + home battery and/or car), the PV system's software needs to know the car's SOC. This isn't possible directly through the J1772 level 2 charging connector, and there isn't a consistent API across car manufacturers. I do hope to eventually find a bidirectional charging solution that works well with my Enphase home PV and battery - Enphase has been promising this, but their target ship date has been slipping. Other companies are already in the market. IMO it will be important to source most of the system from one manufacturer (PV + Home energy storage solution + bidirectional car charging EVSE).

I'm coming up on three years since I bought my LCHCS with the promise of V2H "coming soon". I know they are continuing to work on it but as you can see from my post above, I really need it now please!!

I gave up. I looked at Quasar 2 and Enphase in addition to Lucid charger. I'm buying a plain connected charger (can't see paying extra for the Lucid) and when installed will have a sub-panel installed. Sub-panel will have load transfer switch and connection for a generator. Not critical, last outage over a day long was Hurricane Floyd in 1999.

Last time I heard about V2H wad Eric Bach told Kyle that Dr Emad is working hard on it

 

[ardhout]

On comparison websites I see that Lucid 'already' can do V2H, V2G, V2L. Is that true? With what chargers?

It can do V2V.

V2L was never promised for Air, but Gravity (if optioned) will do V2L as well.

V2H is “coming soon,” but has been since the LCHCS was released. That said, they are actively working on it.

 

[ardhout]

Would be great, here the Nissan Leaf or Mitsubishi Outlander can be connected to a Wallbox Quasar for V2G. Volkswagen with many models will follow 'soon'.

As we approach the end of the year:

• No V2H
• No Android Auto
• No significant ADAS update
• No Gravity
• No Sentry Mode, and so on...

Despite all that, I’m still incredibly happy with what Lucid delivered with the Air and the updates I’ve received this year. I’ve got the best car, the best service, the best driving experience—those are things that can’t be updated OTA. I already have what I need, and I’m content with what’s being rolled out via software updates.

Here’s hoping Lucid can overdeliver in 2025!

This past weekend we handed keys to the first production Lucid Gravity SUVs off the line to some of our employees, friends and families. We are ramping Lucid…

I think you mean that “No Gravity” was “incorrect” as being part of the list of things that didn’t happen in 2024!

Yes

It’s always wise to buy a car based on the features it currently has, not what might be in the future. I’m extremely happy with the car as it is, anything more is just gravy.

I have to agree. I only have 500 miles on my Air Pure, but the more I drive and understand the features, the more I like it!

Thanks. Shipped to who? I don't have it? How do you get it?
