ok now that would be awesome!

Our Gravity has 3 120v outlets…

Think of it like a portable gas can. Sometimes you just need a wee bit more. This provides that capability for ev’s

It's great that they have this, but it seems, given the car already has this capability, that it wouldn't be too much additional trouble to develop a 120V V2L adapter. Even the much cheaper EGMP platform vehicles have one.

We don't know that the Wunderbox can source 120VAC. It might be limited to 240VAC for some reason. Not likely, but possible.

Granted, I'm not an electrician, but if even if that's the case, couldn't the 240V be split into 2 x 120V outlets after going through the wonderbox?

EV charging connectors (J1772 and NACS) do not have a "neutral" pin, so splitting 240V coming from the car into two 120V legs requires a bulky and heavy transformer.

Just because the idea sounds simple doesn’t mean it is simple to implement

RangeXchange is Lucid’s proprietary V2V charging feature that allows Lucid vehicles (Air or Gravity) to share energy from their battery with other electric vehicles. Using the optional RangeXchange charging adapter, together with your Lucid Mobile Charging Cable, you can initiate energy-sharing sessions to power up other EVs in a pinch, providing a helpful energy boost when a charger may not be available.

RangeXchange lets you charge other EVs with ease—just connect, share, and power up with broad compatibility and smart controls.

The Lucid RangeXchange adapter for both J1772 (Lucid Air only) and NACS (Lucid Gravity only) can be purchased in the Lucid Store.

I believe it only works with the -03 version and not the ones we bought earlier

Or possibly a switching power supply? Smaller, lighter, cheaper. Might work.
