LUCID AIR ROAD TRIP FL TO CT FINALE: NON-TESLA CCS CHARGING IN THE USA IS HORRENDOUS!

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a road trip in the Lucid Air, highlighting significant issues with the Electrify America (EA) CCS charging network. While the Lucid Air itself is praised for its comfort, quietness, and range, the charging experience is described as "horrendous" and "nerfed." The reviewer encountered consistently low charging speeds, software limitations, and charging errors across multiple EA stations, particularly in Georgia. A stark contrast is drawn with a positive charging experience at an ABB unit in Pooler, Georgia, which provided fast and reliable charging. The video concludes that while the cars are advanced, the non-Tesla charging infrastructure remains a major bottleneck for EV road trips, leading the reviewer to question the viability of non-Tesla EVs for such journeys. The reviewer also touches upon the vehicle's driver-assist features and minor software glitches.
