Noise vibration while charging at EA

[LCID4EVA]

Vibration /Noise while charging

State of charge - 50%
150kw EA charging station delivering 50-90kwh.
AC running while charging.
No noise/ vibration until 75% charge level.

Noise/Vibration kicks in at ard 76% charge and continues through 80%. See attached video.

Have any of you seen this ? Would you say this is normal?

I think it's normal as i've experienced in every EV i've been in when DC fast charging. I suspect is fans, etc. from the thermal management system.

Fan noise increases rather dramatically as the SOC gets pretty high as the battery unit heat dissipation needs increase.

Checking with Tesla owners. No one experienced these levels or noise and vibration.

Loud buzzing/gargling sound when charging

I've just pluggged the car in to my wall connector for the first time in a couple of weeks to charge it. It's at 55%, it's about 50 degrees outside. It's says it's charging at 48A, but it immediately strarted making this noise from the rear portion of the car. It's a little louder underneath...

LOL, Ok......

I've been in multiple Tesla's and experienced the same thing when charging at a SuperCharger

That noise of out of control lol

This is normal for DC fast charging.

 

[LCID4EVA]

ok I get the noise is normal but what about the vibrations?

 

[Shuasha]

Put in a ticket. You might have an unbalanced fan or worse an a/c compressor that’s failing. Or it’s nothing.

Happened to me twice yesterday at EA fast chargers. Seems normal.

From 20% to 60% it was quiet but it starts buzzing after 60%. I’m pulling 100kW. This is normal for Lucids.

That's normal for the lucid.

Took a video of how the car now sounds when charging. This level of noise doesn’t last the entire charge cycle. It didn’t sound like this until recently (now 3,500 miles).

Has anyone else felt the entire car shudder hard very briefly when these fans/pumps kick in?

Yep, mine just did. It went away shortly after.

Yeah, it's a really short event. This would be a cool example of tuning a behavior with code. "This release provides improvements to the battery cooling systems while charging by adjusting the motor speeds to be more mellifluous and calming."

I've had 4 EVs and never heard a sound like that when charging. Something must be wrong, especially since it wasn't do this before.

By the look of the video, you're Level 1/2 charging and not DCFC. That noise does seem odd, the only noise I've heard is a buzzing from the front of the vehicle while at EA and when battery level was over 80% or so. I suggest you have Lucid come look at this ... it doesn't seem right!

I do have a service appointment next week and have added this issue.
