Mobile Charger as my Home Charger ?

[darkalley]

I’ve been researching this a bit and I can’t seem to figure out what the best answer is. I just use my credit from Lucid to buy the mobile charger since I’m OK with 40 miles of range per hour based on my driving habits is this a acceptable charger to use every day when I get home to plug the car in overnight? Should I use something else? Since the other lucid wall charger is back ordered for a month or so I decided to just go with the mobile charger, but wondering if I made a mistake.

It'll work fine as long as you have a proper EV-rated 14-50 receptacle installed (not a typical residential 14-50 made for intermittent loads).

A permanently installed hardwired charging station is a little nicer to use everyday IMO, and is safer. Some localities require GFCI protection on garage receptacles, which isn't compatible with EV charging equipment, so you'd have to hardwire.

I thought all Lucid already came with that mobile charger kit? Check in your trunk.

at least mine came with that kit included with the car.

Mine did. But I've read that the new ones do not.

Picked up my 2025 AT last month, they no longer include the any charger with this model year. I used my charger credit to get the mobile charger on delivery day.

I've been using the portable charger that came with my Touring for almost 2 years without any problems. Just have a quality 240 V outlet installed in your garage. You don't need to charge daily if you don't drain the battery every day. I charge 1-2 times/week, depending on how much I drive.
