When I put 30k on the card for an international trip and was thus close to the limit. Had to pay down $1k before the bill is due so that my credit limit is freed up. I use my limits fully for the 30-60 day grace and keeping the cash earning interest. Before you ask, the card company just upped my limits a couple of months ago at my request so I could charge the trip. the holds as “potential” charges affect the limits.
Ah yes, that does make sense. And it seems like 75 is a lot to hold for idle fees ?
The average battery size on Lucid’s are 20% to 30% higher compared to other cars. May be this is the reason they opted to hold $75. Lets say in my case, i can fill in over 125kw for full charge at a 58cent per kw which is technically near $75
I don't think it is to cover idle fee, i am talking only about the possible KW max usage on a Lucid.
Lucid is not separating accounts with free charging and accounts without. They are going flat on all accounts.
They did not set up two separate systems. The hold is for the *charging session*. That you happen to have it for free is great, but the hold does not take that into account. It is much much simpler to just hold the same amount for everyone and then release it.
