No one knows yet.
Thanks for the info. I haven‘t seen the cable As it doesn’t exist yet. It would require a CCS to CCS connection at the ends for high speed DC. I would need a CCS to ChadeMo which means multiple cable types would need to be produced. I am not sure what the speed would be since it would require cooling the cables which I doubt is happening. I was expecting a 19.2 kW max with J1772 connectors at both ends.

The idea behind it is the ability to help out another fellow EVer who is stranded a few miles from a charge station or from his destination.
This would be awesome. There's a few companies that are testing it too like Sparkcharge? Limited locations. Not sure how it can be cost effective to cover areas with what I imagine is a pretty low utilization. Will be interesting as it evolves.

I ordered two of the Charge Point Flex chargers as I also have a Rivian truck ordered. Bought on Amazon but they won't get here till about March 22-24. If I went with the same unit but with the 6-50 plug instead of the 14-50 it would be here Wednesday. Thanks for the info on the Charge Point Sandvinsd as I like it's specs....
two?!
FYI….You have to have two accounts as you can only add one ChargePoint Flex per account.
You are only allowed to register one home charger per account. So since you have 2, you will need 2 different accounts to put one charger on each, especially if you are scheduling charging through the app. Sounds like an oversight from Chargepoint.
For the Lucid, you could just use the included mobile charger and leave the Chargepoint HomeFlex for the Rivian.

I am months away from getting my Lucid but Amazon had the Wallbox Pulsar Plus for $100 off, so I ordered it now. I like how small it is and its features.
Plus if I made the wrong decision, I can easily return it. Did I make a mistake?

Is it a smart charger i.e. can you schedule a charge time?
