Not sure why you need this. If you buy the appropriate adapter you can use the dryer connection to charge your Rivian using the portable charger that was delivered with your vehicle. You are limited to 30 amps and so charging will be slower with approximately 15 miles delivered each hour. Obviously you can’t use your dryer while you are charging.
If your dryer is not located close to where you charge your Rivian my solution may not work. Not sure why the item you suggested wouldn’t work but I believe you will be limited to 30 amps and you will need to select the lower amp setting in the Rivian before you start charging.
Guys in here are quoting AMPs and you haven't even specified what your'e dealing with... SMH.
Electrician already reviewed my panel and told me it is full. Hot tub has taken up all the slack. Dryer confirmed 30 amps.
EVSEs are considered continuous loads, so you need to limit current to 80% of the circuit capacity; therefore, you should only pull 24A from a typical 30A dryer circuit. 24A would give you ~12 miles per hour of range gained.
There's a version of that that comes with a J1772 connector - it is basically an EVSE that shares power. That's the version I would get since you wouldn't need to fiddle with adapters or set the amps in the car. The box would tell the vehicle to only charge at 24A.
Incorrect. All dryers use a 30A circuit. Older houses use a NEMA 10-30 receptacle which has three prongs, while newer houses use a NEMA 14-30 receptacle which has 4 prongs, but they are both 30A receptacles.
No one was suggesting this. The OP has an electrician which recommended the simpleswitch, I believe.
I considered getting one of these, but I found the cost to be prohibitive. Instead, I just set my charge schedule to be 3am - 10am. No one is gonna be up doing laundry at those hours in our house.
