Custom Power Limits for AC Charging

[JeffG]

Does anyone know how to change the custom power limit once it has been originally set in the mobile app? After upgrading my home setup, I have more amps to use but my location was previously saved with a lower value. The option to change the amps is no longer shown in the mobile app (v 2.7.1). Car app v 2.8.0.

Before 2.8.0, user-customizable Amperes were not supported.

Now that you have 2.8.0, I don't think you can adjust it from the app, you have to go to your car's screen display to do it.

If you upgraded your home breaker to a higher Ampere like from 12A to now 50A, you can use the mobile connector with NEMA 14-50 plug to increase your amperes. You can't continue to use the current 12A adapter and expect to adjust the amperes up with your car's display.

In this scenario, it's an exchange of a physical plug, not a software user-customizable Amperes.

Thanks @Tâm! I updated the amp limit via the car screen.

Thanks @Tâm! I updated the amp limit via the car screen.

Keep in mind if it is still lowered in the charger itself via a DIP switch or something you’ll still have to change that.

I went to the charging screen in the car, and it was set to 80A. I set it to 40A, and set the address to my home address. Now it knows that at that location, it should use 40A. It would have figured that part out anyway. I'm not sure whether the initial 80A was because I haven't charged yet since I got the software upgrade, and the CCCv2 upgrade that seemed to have reset everything.

How do I reset my current limit? I can go up to 40amps but the car won't let me go over 32amps from the pilot panel. How do I reset this?

I don't know your specific EVSE settings, but I suspect that yours is set to a 40A breaker size. The EVSE then applies the 80% de-rate.

Set the EVSE to the breaker size and you should be good to go.

Today was first time I used the Lucid Home charger since 2.8.0 update. Prior to 2.8.0 charging would start shortly after plugging in the cable. Now after plugging in the cable it took several minutes before the charging started. The charge screen was default set at 80 A but my Home charger is limited to 56A by the DIP switch setting. Should I set the charge screen to 56A to eliminate this delay in the start of charging?

I don't know the cause of your delay, but I doubt it's due to the car being on its default settings. Power negotiation doesn't take long.
