Here is a positive story for EA with the Lucid. Coming back from NorCal for the holiday weekend, We stopped off at an EA at a Walmart in Santa Clarita after we got over the Grapevine. We were fully expecting to not get power due to the 100+ temp and the Flex Alert occurring at that time (CA has no reliable power since we are a third world nation state) I was also anticipating having issues since that is par for the course half of the time. There was one charger available as a Leaf pulled out (after not being able to get a charge) just when we arrived. We plugged into the 150 kw station and immediately pulled 173 kW! My battery had been preconditioned as I was coming down the Grapevine. The other cars, a Kia, Audi, Mustang MachE were only pulling 38 amps max on the 150 kW stations and the other Kia was only pulling 78 on the 350. They were all frustrated and astonished that I connected and pulled 178 kW from a ‘bad charger.’ I charged from 18 to 70% in about 24‘ and left since I had more than enough to get home after walking the dog and doing our bathroom breaks. The Audi pulled into my space when I left hoping for better results. I wonder if he did.
