On the way home Sunday, not only were 2 of the 8 stalls at EA nonfunctional, but the remaining 6 were degraded, so I got 7kw out of the sole “working” 350 and 46kw out of a “working” 150. The best I saw on any of them was 88kw. This was a bank of 6 150s and 2 350s.

I charged just enough to get home. Even for EA, this was particularly bad.

What sort of things are you doing that an EV wouldn’t cover?

Right now, home charging is the best option, but charging remotely is doable if you already have fast chargers where you grocery shop. This is what my nephew does with his Bolt.

I switched from a Kona EV to a Lucid GT. Having twice the range makes all the difference between a primary and secondary car. I could easily burn through the entire Kona battery without tho it needing to stop, but I can’t do the same on the Lucid. As I like to say, it’s battery is bigger than my bladder, so I never feel limited. Once you’re getting around 350 miles of real world range, an EV makes a fine primary car.

If this follows the same pattern as the 1910s, there will be a lot of startups, most will fail, a few will consolidate, and one or two will become titans.

There are a lot of parallels between Dodge and Lucid. History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. Let’s hope the leadership at Lucid isn’t killed off by disease. :)
