Hey @Signgirl! A smart charger allows you to manage your charging wirelessly so you can optimize charging and cost. For example setting your charger so that it starts at night.What is a smart charger?
A smart charger is connected to the wifi and enables you to schedule your charging during super off-peak times and gives you information about the charging through an app.What is a smart charger?
My Leaf does too. But currently the Air does not have timed charging, but that should be rectified in a softeare update.Some EV's allow one to set the time to begin charging, e.g. I set my Bolt to start charging at 2:00 AM, i.e. off-peak hours. I've got to think that the Air will have similar or better options.
My L2 charger also has the option to schedule charging times, so if the Air won't let me do it I'll have to dig out the manual for the charger. I'm pretty sure I have a wifi based app for setting the schedule on the charger. Nevertheless it would still be more convenient to have the Air control the charging schedule.My Leaf does too.

Yes. Timed charging is a BIG deal, especially here in CA where it can be 65 cents /kW in the early evening but only 9 cents if I can charge between midnight and 6 am. I don’t plan on being awake at midnight just to plug the car in.I’m surprised that this wasn’t there at launch. It seems like something standard that the other luxury EVs can do
Agreed, timed charging should be a standard feature in EVs, especially ones in the price bracket Lucid is in. Charging in off hours is the best way to go for everyone.Yes.
