Very impressed with Lucid Gravity designs. Pricey but very nice. With adjustable suspensions for off-roading. If only they have solid states, lfp or sodum ions. Still on lithium ions. Gravity | Lucid Motors
Still haven't seen a tree or rock with a L2 socket you can plug into.... Your trip would be limited to half the distance of the nearest L2 charger, or spend the night at a L1 socket to get you back to a L2 charger. Off-roading; really messes with the range estimates because of the varying terrain and power requirements to get through them.
Aren't Lucid's EV only? Before people start chiming in that gas car are limited by distance from the gas station; there's something called "jerry cans"; no offense to jerry.
and how many miles/Kwh are you averaging on it and the assumption is that your going to get 100% output in the winter? There's a big difference between real world and theoretical. YouTube is littered with click-bait like that.
That's nice - Kinda crowds out any room for emergency- and recovery- gear. Again; assuming perfect 100% output without losses; how far is that 3Kw generated in an hour going to get you? Hopefully your not too far off the beaten path and have enough water to walk-out for a rescue. This kinda reminds me of that Bubba joke - What's the last thing that person said to you before they died? Hey; watch this......
that's pretty cool, is it grid tied? I've thought about panels in the back yard, but idk how to use the output. I don't really want a battery storage system I did see an interesting mini split, solar panel package.
That's meant for off-grid. But a lot of people are installing solar plugins with micro inverters and no permit required to lower their power bills. Keep in mind. Starlink in "stand by mode" only costs $7/month. You can still get internet for that price but in slower connections.
As long as you can get an SOS out. I prefer the Garmin inReach; most people don't venture out into desolation - only to hook back up to the internet. No setup or pointing; just turn it on and get out from under cover.
And if that's not enough fun facts ...... we live in Montana for over ½ a year at a time. Closest service center? Lucid runs mobile service out of Seattle. LOL - that's over 500 miles away. hard pass then there is conversion losses. Figure 5% best case scenario going DC to ac (for the cars slow charge port) & another 5% to convert that AC back to traction pack's DC. Then for actual use conversion again to 3-phase high voltage. Take your best guess for the conversion loss there. A heavy EV might get you a mile per kilowatt hour - factoring for best conditions of weather & the azimuth of the sun.
For that price, people want more range on the label than LFP and Na-ion can provide. The price will increase when/if solid state arrives.
what are you running off of these? what do you think about a system like this?sol-ark-5kw-hybrid-solar-kit-16-450w-runergy-panels-7-2kw
