I take it your delivery date was just over 3 years ago

 

[mikecronis]

Yep. I tried it 2 days after the 3-year mark last month and I was charged $0.00
The whole thing was an experiment at our only EA location.
They charge $0.56 kWh (which is ludicrously high) and the fastest charging rate of these 350 kWh chargers was bout 70 kWh.
Still, the handshake worked with the VIN. I guess it's good in a pinch. My rate at home is (still rather high) $0.17 kWh. Best to just do it at home.

 

[Cosmo Cruz]

Just did same thing today.
Went by local EA: was empty so plugged in for free.
Have a few months to go. .
...thinking it's time for a trip ...

 

[Cosmo Cruz]

Hey ... congratulations!

Charged at EA while I was at the outlet center ( New York, Woodbury commons) it would have cost me $56 but I have 6 more weeks of free charging. I think at home my cost is roughly 1/2 of EA. Charging by outside party is fast approaching a tank of gas for the same cost per mile

Probably much less cost. EA was charging $0.56 per kWh at the Station.
US Average is about $0.16.
My home rate in Colorado is $0.17.
Hawaii is about $0.42. North Dakota is about $0.10.

So, 100 kw "fill-up" would be $56 at the EA Station, and $17 at home for me.

New York is $.23 I’m almost positive for orange and Rockland electric rates. I would love to pay$.16! I tried twice to get solar panels but each company kept upping the price ( I wanted them next to the house not on the roof for ease of maintenance, snow removal the fact that I have 25 years on my roof already, I also have 10 acres of land with a southern exposure etc etc) anyway the break even point was looking to be about 12 years including the subsidies which is approximately the life span of the panels. It just didn’t make economic sense. So I pay the price but have the fun of my GT and anxiously await my Gravity

 

[Cosmo Cruz]

@CraZ8 same here. I'd love to do solar but wife says I'm too old and the house it too much to take care of...so we're going to move to a "condo"... I'd just as soon move directly to the graveyard from here. She says we'd never get the investment back...I don't care about that...my ROI days are behind me.

Would like to do a ground installation for same reasons. Not really concerned about expense as much as being part of the change the world needs to see. Have about 6 months of free charging left but charging at home is so easy...waking up with a full tank every day... I've started charging to 72% instead of 80%...

I'm trying to imagine the EVs that we will see ten years hence. Every econo box will have Sapphire software on the drive train. Cheaper batteries with higher performance...China flooding the market with golf carts affordable and practical for the masses... charging stations everywhere...

Meanwhile, I'm pricing out having an elevator installed. (hips). It's that or build a master suit on the ground floor. Or a solar / storage battery install and I'll just sleep in my Lucid. Ahh ... decisions ...

Totally agree
we pay $0.31 in MA so charging at home is 1/2 price at EA ( some EA's here are at .64 per KW
Charging at home still way cheaper than gas even in the cold of winter
After the free EA is gone would only use EA if traveling

well yeah that's what they're supposed to do

 

[new owner]

Probably much less cost. EA was charging $0.56 per kWh at the Station.
US Average is about $0.16.
My home rate in Colorado is $0.17.
Hawaii is about $0.42. North Dakota is about $0.10.

So, 100 kw "fill-up" would be $56 at the EA Station, and $17 at home for me.

North Dakota needs that $0.10 as the miles per KW are probably 2.5 in the winter/cold driving
still cheaper than gas in the cold there

 

[Cosmo Cruz]

$ 0.09 to $ 0.12 cents / kWh in PA So about twelve bucks to fill the tank on my Lucid.

Was over eighty bucks to fill the SL600, and the range was about 250 miles...(worth it ... if you've never had a convertible, put it on your bucket list)

I felt bad having an old-school V-12 and a bi-turbo V8 (wagon is E-63S) ... Lucid helped me become a better person:

sold.

There can only be one:

 

[Andretex]

Ok. So you are saying Lucid needs a convertible two door version of the Air?

 

[Okie]

I bought my GT in October of ‘22. I believe I was told I would have three years free charging at EA. Last month I was told it was only two years. Did I misunderstand or was I misinformed?

 

[Andretex]

If you bought in 2022, your three years are up! Yes you definitely had three years of free EA.

 

[Okie]

My arithmetic must be off. I don’t believe my three years will be up until October of this year.

 

[Andretex]

Your app should say how long you have and when it started. Go to charging then Lucid charging service, then service summary.

I agree
