What’s is the “connected” in the Lucid Charger

[ColonelBadger]

Haven’t had my home charger installed yet. I’ve googled and read the manual for it and for the life of me I can’t work out what’s “connected” about it. It certainly seems you can connect it to your WiFi, but then what ? How do you control it and what can you control ?

It’s “connected” to the wall

It’s the charger that’s supposed to support V2H sometime this decade but for now its main feature is that it will charge at 18Kw and maybe have some interface / wireless capabilities to manage.

So is there any point connecting it to the WIFi right now ?

There are a few things to look at. Not hugely useful but why not connect it?

Where do you look at these “things”? In the Lucid app ?

It's best to do so so that it can receive software updates. It's been a while, but mine has had two since I got it.
Once the LCHCS is on your home wifi, if you point a browser at the LCHCS's IP address, you can see some charging details.

Or you might be able to see charging details... mine seems to have gone silent.
