EV Channels Review
This video documents the second part of a road trip in a 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring from Connecticut to Florida, focusing on the challenges encountered with the Electrify America (EA) charging network. While the Lucid Air itself is praised for its comfort, performance, and advanced driver-assistance systems, the charging experience was fraught with issues. The reviewers experienced "dirty charging" (inconsistent power delivery), software-limited 350kW chargers, and had to resort to careful speed management to arrive at charging stations with minimal state of charge. Despite these EA network frustrations, which mirrored a previous Tesla Model S trip, the reviewers highlight the Lucid Air's capability for long-distance travel, noting its impressive range on the initial leg and its comfortable ride. The video concludes with the arrival in Naples, Florida, where new SK Signet chargers offered a more promising charging experience, though one unit was already down.
