Does anyone know if these units are available yet or when they will be available and what the cost will be ? Will it also be J1772 compatible with my Polestar 2 car? Thanks.
I have a TESLA Wall Charger and I am getting Lucid Air- Can I use my TESLA Wall Charger as I get good 48A now on my TESLA? If not, does Lucid sell a Wall Charger and for how much? Thanks
Hey @Amalek, if you buy an adapter the Tesla wall charger can work on the Air or any other non Tesla. Lucid does have their own home charger but I'm not sure when they're going on sale.

What kinds of home chargers are people planning on using for their Lucid's are you going with the Lucid Connected Home Charging Station or with a third party EV charger like JuiceBox, Clipper Creek, ChargePoint, etc. Here are some of the specs for the Lucid Connected Home Charging Station...
Charging partnership - From discussions with Lucid Tech it appears that QMerit is their preferred EV charger parent. Here is a link to their site that may be of interest - EV Charger Installation – Qmerit Electrification LLC
And we're going into Q4-2022 and it's still not available. I was an early adopter with Tesla so I'm used to delays and false promises like this. But certainly doesn't mean it's any less annoying.
Just received the e-mail below yesterday (10/20/22 @ 9am CST) confirming the new Lucid Connected Home Charging Station is available to order for Dream Edition owners. Not sure if it's really restricted to Dream owners like it states in the Subject Line below. Take note: "Best of all, it promises to be better in the future, with software updates that will enable bi-directional charging — meaning you can use your car to power your house (additional hardware needed).". I'm curious to know exactly what this "additional hardware" will be. And how much Lucid will charge for it. If they're following their current pattern of overpricing EVERYTHING thus far then perhaps be prepared to get Monkey Humped on this as well. C'mon, $48 for a t-shirt which is technically offering free advertising for the brand. Even Tesla only charges $30-$35 for t-shirts. And $1,200 for this Home Charging Station! Tesla is at $400 & Rivian at $500 for their Home Charging Stations.
Anyway, that gripe aside (likely just venting because of where LCID is at these days), I thought this to be good intel for the Lucid Community. Cheers...
An exclusive for Dream Edition owners: our Lucid Connected Home Charging Station is now available.
Home is where the charging station is.
As our first customers, we wanted to give you the first chance to buy the new Lucid Connected Home Charging Station.
Housed in a sleek, compact form that complements any style of decor, the Lucid Connected Home Charging Station is capable of charging up to 80 miles of range per hour (80 amps, 240 volts). It’s built to perform indoors or outdoors through all seasons, and comes with a generous 24-foot cable. Best of all, it promises to be better in the future, with software updates that will enable bi-directional charging — meaning you can use your car to power your house (additional hardware needed).
Like the rest of our vehicle accessories, it was designed by the same people who engineered your Lucid Air, so you can count on attention to detail you simply won’t find anywhere else. And we recommend easy, expert installation with our partner Qmerit.
