Possible Causes

Branch circuit near capacity, Long run of undersized wire to Lucid charger, Loose main service or subpanel connections

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Panel and service work must be done by a licensed electrician.

Steps:

  • Reduce current: Temporarily lower the Lucid charger’s maximum current setting in the app and observe if flicker decreases.
  • Check wiring size: Have an electrician verify that the conductor gauge and run length to the Lucid charger meet installation requirements.
  • Inspect panel connections: Electrician should check and tighten main lugs and branch connections in the service panel.

Resolution: If flicker persists, consider upgrading the branch circuit or service capacity. The Lucid charger itself may be operating normally; the issue is often supply-side.
