With EV adoption on the horizon, many still have range and charging anxiety. Will there be a charger available where I’m going? Will it give me enough juice to get back home? These are the questions a lot of potential EV owners are asking. Now, Lucid should be able to offer some reassurance to Air owners, thanks to a new home charger that can deliver up to 80 miles of range per hour plugged in.

The company released the new charger as part of its line of new Lucid vehicle accessories. Called the Lucid Connected Home Charging Station, it makes a big promise: using AC charging and capable of supporting up to 19.2 kWh, it can deliver up to 80 miles of range per hour.

Well I’m glad to hear that from you. There are a lot of people who don’t want us to have that choice any longer. I don’t have any problem with anyone buying an EV, ICE or a Flintstone vehicle. Unfortunately EV’s are being forced on us come hell or high water and there is no plan in place on how to fuel them efficiently. If a person can only afford one car, and maybe that is a less than $10,000 used car, that person has to have an ICE vehicle, an EV is out of the question due to the economics of it.

Not enough people are educated in math and science well enough to know that this is a impossible future.

We, as a nation and apparently a world, will have to learn the hard way.

We cannot change the Laws of Physics and Thermodynamics, even though the OBAMANOIDS THOUGHT THEY COULD............

19 kw for one hour is roughly the same as the amount of energy used to run the whole house for a day (roughly 24kwh).

So by plugging in that car for one hour each day you’re essentially doubling your monthly electric bill.

<>Insurance companies will be the eventual arbiter of how safe these are<>

Thanks to Deep State investments in EV companies, I expect insurance companies will soon be forced to spread the risk via increased rates to ICE vehicle owners.

EVs are the future, donch’a know.

<>I’m not an EV hater, but if everyone owned EV’s and someone invented a gasoline car, it would be considered an upgrade<>

Excellent!!!

There never was/is any popular hue and cry for these things. EVs are democrat-imposed assists to the Global Reset.

No thanks.

Absolutely.

If you can only afford one vehicle it better not be an EV.

And I don’t care what the car companies say now, NO WAY they will be 100% electric anytime soon.

I don’t hear a thing.
I’ve had 2 offers for more than I paid for it in 2019, one from a Jeep dealer, and the other from my neighbor.
It’s not for sale.
