Charge won't stay at 80%

[BeverlyHills248]

I schedule my Lucid to charge at home to 80% every night. Most often I'm just topping up from 60 to 70% so it's done overnight. But then it keeps going down to 79% and topping back up to 80%. I work from home so some days I don't leave and it will keep topping up all day. Is this normal? Any ideas to stop it?

It's normal for any EV, depending on how often the car wakes, and its energy drain rate when asleep.
Just unplug the car if you don't want to see it.

Charge to 80%, then change the limit to 70% once it is fully charged to 80. It should only come back on to charge of it falls below 70%.

We are lucky enough to have the EV with the best range on earth. I would not worry about it. Batteries lose charge spontaneously and also there is some drain even when the Air is sleeping. It's probably better for the long term health of the battery pack to operate at a state of charge between 80% and 20% as standard practice. If you think about it, this is how gasoline drivers handle the tank. No one tops off every day. Sure, if you are heading out on a long road trip, charge to 100% (note regenerative breaking will be disabled until you use a few percent so it feels a bit weird at first). Enjoy your amazing Lucid Air as I enjoy mine now with 58,000 miles on it.

Do you charging scheduled ? If scheduled charging is setup then it should only trigger charge. Technically, when you charge to 80%. In few minutes it would display 79% as I suspect it goes to 79.99% (my assumption)
