I mean, you'd have to have some serious time on your hands to run to EA, spend an hour waiting to charge to 100%, then running back to your house to power your refrigerator.
It's not worth the time IMO. I'm on NEM3 now but back in my NEM2 days, getting $0.66/kWh credit would've been easy.
Well people are smart and devious to save a buck so that would be a way they could.
Blue: Perfect - I want Option 1 ASAP. (BTW - I was just on Rt 95 near Savannah Ga. and passed a carrier full of Ioniq's. I guess the plant near there has started operation.)
The LCHCS and the "Wunderbox" are supposed to already be "bi-directional" and supposedly will allow up to 19kW to move to the house. However, as you mentioned there will be additional hardware required to remove the house from the grid to provide backup power in an outage. I believe all of that hardware has been identified and should be similar to the hardware used by backup generators. But Lucid is holding up the release either because of problems with the utilities or else potential liability issues. My comments are speculation but I have been waiting three years for this feature and have had some conversations with personnel at Lucid who should be "in the know".
But Lefty, those with solar power already have this in place...And vetted by the local utility. So frustrating
I hear you loud and clear. I have had solar for over 7 years. I was about to purchase a backup generator (would run off of household gas) but then I bought the Lucid and the LCHCS assuming V2H was just around the corner. Tesla batteries way to expensive in my opinion but now I've been waiting for quite a while with no specific information about when the V2H will come to fruition. I know and can appreciate that Lucid management has "bigger fish to fry" regarding pushing out the new models (Gravity and Earth) and I do applaud those efforts as well as the continuing improvements in our software but unless I'm missing something key I just don't understand why Ford has been able to provide V2H to some of their customers but Lucid is still in the "development" stages???
I doubt that. It’s hugely time consuming, inefficient and saves very little money. If someone driving a $75,000 - $250,000 car needs to do that, the World has really gone off the rails!
Exactly. I already have 40kWh backup batteries in place and go off grid with a toggle on my cell phone…it’s really not Lucid’s issue for the homeowner to get the hardware in place to isolate the home and use the power, they just need to get us the software and cable to get the power out of the card using some industry standard communication protocol…and perhaps that last piece is the issue?
Of the finest quality...
They're 40-amp bidirectional mobile charging EVSEs, not just a cable. The price is a little high but not absurd.
V2L was never promised. I’d be thrilled if they produce an adapter for it, but I would not spend any time whatsoever expecting it.
