PART 1: LUCID AIR 1,800 MILE ROAD TRIP FROM COLORADO TO CONNECTICUT!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on an 1800+ mile road trip in his 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring, documenting the experience from Colorado to Connecticut. While praising the car's solid build quality, comfortable ride, excellent efficiency (averaging 3.8-4.6 miles/kWh), and impressive new software features like improved lane centering and easy entry/exit, significant concerns arise regarding charging infrastructure. The reviewer highlights persistent issues with Electrify America's 'Signet' chargers, experiencing "authentication errors" with Plug & Charge, inconsistent power delivery (the "Signet surge"), and a frustratingly slow charging session where he paid per minute instead of for energy delivered. Despite these charging woes and the navigation system's overly conservative routing, the reviewer reiterates his love for the Lucid Air, calling it a "dream car" and a "phenomenal" road tripper, though acknowledging the charging partner's unreliability as a major drawback.
