Would this work
For some reason seems very cheap. I need about 30-40 feet tops

Yowza! That's dirt cheap! But the right gauge wire. FYI, HD has it for $316.

This would work and much cheaper than HD

Good luck with your install. BTW, when you plug in the Lucid charger, the Lucid logo should light up; if it doesn't, that means you didn't shove the connecting cable into the charger hard enough. Happened to both my BIL and me; we had red faces, especially me since I was the one who called CS.

Haha , thanks for the heads-up might take a few days or weeks to get it but will definitely fall back here if something doesn't work out. And with the above mentioned equipment. It should charge 30-40 miles an hour right ?

Assuming you have 240v, it should charge at max 9.6kWh. I think that equates to roughly your estimate. I've never stayed up to see if the charge rate decreases as you near 80% or 100% SOC. Others can jump in with their experience on that.

I get 36 to 38 miles per hour charge rate with 9.6 kW. It will not slow down until above 99% SOC

I don’t believe my charge rate slows down either, though I only charge to 90% at home. I just ran downstairs to check, before charging finished. At 80% my home charger (an old Tesla unit) was charging at 46 mph at 12 kW.
