Apartment charging without a dedicated garage outlet

EVFan4Community StarterJan 10, 20262025 Lucid Air PurePhoenix

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? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

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. This is from a 2025 Lucid Air in Phoenix. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. That's my plan before I call anyone.

1972 Chevrolet C10 — no crank with full dash power, then it starts later

Twice I have had full lights and accessories but no crank. After waiting a few minutes it starts normally. Battery terminals look clean. What would you want to measure during the actual failure?
