Charging options

Holy Toledo, Are you buying 2 Lucids ?

It is possible to do a high charge rate with a V2V DC/DC feed if both cars are Lucid.

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.

I read AAA is starting to carry battery pack chargers for stranded EV’s.

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 believe the AAA battery packs they will carry are to just give you enough charge to get to the nearest charging station.

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....

[Charley]

Yes. The truck will sit outside in a breezeway. And Lucid in the garage

FYI….You have to have two accounts as you can only add one ChargePoint Flex per account.

 

[Charley]

I don't understand.

 

[hydbob]

I don't understand.

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.

 

[Charley]

Lol. Now even more confused. What is charge point and what does it have to do with me charging ?

 

[Charley]

Ahhh I see now. Charge point is the seller and the app I’ll figure something out.

 

[hydbob]

For the Lucid, you could just use the included mobile charger and leave the Chargepoint HomeFlex for the Rivian.

 

[Charley]

Canceled one of them. I’ll figure out another one to get that has Wi-Fi. Also have a house in Az that will need one.

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?
