2025 Lucid Air Pure — question: Apartment charging without a dedicated garage outlet

DetailMom89Community StarterFeb 23, 20262025 Lucid Air PureDenver / Front Range
I can charge at work sometimes but not at home. For people living in apartments, what combination of public charging, workplace charging and occasional fast charging has actually been practical? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread. Ambient temp was about 45°F when I noticed it.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2025 Lucid Air charge sessions. That's where I'd start. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2025 Lucid Air, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. Then you'll know the next fork. On “question: apartment charging without a dedicated garage,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I'll update if anything new shows up.

That's a good start, but I wouldn't stop there. Try a second charger before blaming the 2025 Lucid Air — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. Then you'll know the next fork. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.

Quick add on that: Leave the alerts on the 2025 Lucid Air so service can see what you saw. I'd do that before spending real money. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. I'd rather be boring and correct. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2025 Lucid Air — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. I'd do that before spending real money. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2025 Lucid Air so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

On “question: apartment charging without a dedicated garage,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Just my two cents from doing this recently. That's my plan before I call anyone.
