Lucid Connected Home Charger NACS vs J1772

Question: I currently own a Tesla Model 3, and have a 2nd Generation Tesla Wall connector set at 80 amps and connected to a 100 amp circuit. I heard this setup won't be able to charge a Lucid Gravity. So, if I replace the Tesla Wall connector with a Lucid Home Charger, will I be able to safely charge the Tesla Model 3? Are there any caveats to that?

I can't speak to whether your G2 wall connector will work (maybe by reducing the current setting to 48 amps?). But any other NACS charger should work. Lucid's LCHCS is rudimentary in its current state of development. Several other 80 amp chargers are available, some at a lower price than the LCHCS, and have integration with a phone app, charging history and cost estimation, etc.

I verified that the Gravity will charge if you reduce the max current in the Tesla Gen 2 WC to 56 and 48 and 40 amps.
I had the car at home only a limited time so didn’t try the full 80 amps.
Also it seemed that the car choose a lower actual charging amps at 56 than 48, but didn’t investigate nor check the settings in the car.
 
Question: I am new to Lucid. Recently purchased a 2026 Air Touring which I love. I already have a ChargePoint J1772 Nema 14-50 plug charging station installed as my wife has a 2024 Kia EV6 GT. I note that it only charges my Lucid at a rate of appox. 14mile/hour. The charger It is rated up to about 40miles/ hour.
Is anyone aware how it can be speeded up?

My ChragePoint charger will charge my Air at a full 9kW or 40A as you would expect. Yours should also. Try checking charge current setting in the car and see if it was turned down below 40A.
 
Just another data point: my ChargePoint also charges at 40a, consistently showing 9kW into the car.
