RESOLVED In home charger

[macolhie]

The fact that the breaker reset helped implies it is the charger, not the car. As suggested earlier, check the adapter that you are using with the charger.

The solution was dielectric grease. Despite everything being new and indoors, the connections needed some grease to work properly. Thank you for all the responses and ideas!

It is an option that is good. Whether it's the best for you is up to you.
Do you already have a level 2 charger from a previous car? If so, probably not worth replacing it.
Do you get the $1000 charging credit with your car? If so, that's a pretty good deal.
Do you have capacity for an extra 100A breaker in your panel?
Do you even need the extra charging speed as compared to e.g. a 40A or 48A charger? If you're not likely to forget to plug in and you aren't regularly driving 200+ miles in a day, probably not.

Other than being 80A, there's nothing special about Lucid's charger. It doesn't currently have any remote monitoring/management features via a smartphone app like some of the more popular ones.

As someone that ran out and bought the lucid charger on eBay I 1000% this is nothing special other than the lucid light up logo. I regret buying it and should have just waited for a FlO 80amp to be delivered a few weeks later.

This needs an app to manage charging times.. and track usage. This is a “Dumb” charger and would strongly suggest an alternate 80amp of you have that capacity in your home.

Pretty upset since I paid $750 for this. And could have gotten a better alternative with a little patience.

FLO's 80 amp EVSE is $1399. You got a great deal on Lucid's EVSE at $750.
You currently can't use EVSE-side charge scheduling with the Air. It hasn't been communicated by Lucid if you will be able to in the future. Instead, you need to schedule charging from the car.

That would be the one I'd go to if I hadn't already picked up the Lucid EVSE thinking I'd get doing V2H by now...

I went with the Ultimate 48, same just lower power, and cost (under $400). I don't need 60A. Didn't think V2H was coming anytime soon. Without that I didn't see what the Lucid EVSE had that the United did not.
