RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

[Dark-Fx]

The video clip is basically the same angle and only lasts a few seconds with the sound of the charger going. There aren’t any close up shots of the car or pedestal. It’s not my video so I can’t post it but I don’t see any reason why the person would try to create a fake video.

Its the internet.

Guessing the pedestal is crashed with the green LEDs being stuck on. This is basically the perfect angle that you can't see from the car itself that it's charging.

I did a trip using RAN from Aberdeen WA to Fortuna CA and back two months ago or so and saw a non-Rivian charging at the Coos Bay RAN high speed charger just after I used it. I figured maybe they were just parking there but it looked weird since it was connected. Next day I'm in Lincoln City and charging at the RAN in Lincoln City and there are several non-Rivians trying to charge including the EV I saw in Coos Bay. I spoke with them and they said they got a successful charge in Coos Bay but couldn't make any of the Lincoln City RAN chargers work for them. Just my 2 cents.

Is there any video of the car charging? Not just sounds.

This from the Rocky Mountain Rivian Club FB page - looks like mobile service working on the Flatirons mall chargers and should be operational soon!

Are RAN chargers currently working for any CCS vehicle (while it is currently free)? I just saw a post on FB of a Bolt looking like it’s successfully charging on a RAN with the green light lit up on the side of the pedestal.

Plugshare checkin at coos bay= 2023 bolt charged at 44kw

That’s interesting. I just looked at PlugShare after you mentioned this and a Polestar, Mach-E, EV6, F-150 had successfully charged at Coos Bay, though that was mostly in March.

Wow! Should have read more. That Kona guy didn’t know how to stop a charge?

Hah, I missed that one. Kind of crazy that they didn’t know how to stop charging via their car’s UI.

Checked out the waypoint chargers at the Prineville Reservoir in central Oregon. The area is a charging desert so it is nice to see these here.

They placed them in a really nice location with a view of the lake. The Prineville Reservoir is a designated dark sky area, but was overcast in the evening we were there.

Rivian has a new story about road tripping to celebrate yet another RAN station in California. Meanwhile, there is exactly 1 DCFC along I-20 between Tuscaloosa and Dallas (nearly 600 miles) and it's at a BMW dealership with 2 plugs.

But yes, by all means please keep saturating California with fast chargers.

Not much love in general for fast charging in Texas

The link below is to a Google Map that I have created with 3 layers. It is pretty raw right now, so I'll put all the information about it first. The link should stay good even as I try to polish things up over time.

I also can't promise that it will always be up to date. If Rivian changes locations on their map, well... those aren't going to be updated on mine because I won't necessarily ever learn that they've updated it, and too many updates will simply take time that I might not have for this project. If someone lets me know, I might be able to do one-off updates. If someone lets me know of major changes to the RAN map, I can probably do some bigger updates.

The 3 layers:
1) The RAN addresses that are "known" or guessed based on information in other threads in this forum -- right now it's the Salida, CO location and the locations shared for CA that were based on utility jobs involving PG&E.

2) Crudely-place points for RAN locations based on the Rivian.com map. They're crudely placed because all we can extract from the Rivian map is a fairly high-level of zoom with large icons. The icons appear to mostly be placed in the city or general area anyway. These are not exact locations and should only be treated as being within a 10-15 mile radius. They also don't reflect actual charging stations, just the areas that Rivian is loosely planning to put locations. I hope to name these points, but that's very time-consuming. A possible solution for that might be coming, and if it does will be reflected in an updated version of this layer. These points are based on the RAN map on 6/26/2021.

3) Electrify America locations I pulled from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's data on alternative fuel stations, including EV chargers. This data is good as of 6/26/2021.

If there are any features that people think are critical to this being usable, let me know and I can try to add them. Please keep in mind that some of this is time consuming and I do have a full-time job and other responsibilities and hobbies, so I make NO promises about adding anything or when it might happen.

If anybody is interested, I can share a geo-referenced TIFF file of the RAN map that I screen-capped from their website in pieces, stitched together, and then geo-referenced in QGIS. It can be opened in Google Earth if anybody wants to play with that at all. I can also share a KML file that has all of these unlabeled RAN points.

Finally, if automating the point names isn't doable, I will probably have to defer to others who are interested in crowdsourcing some of this. In that situation, I can share the map through Google Drive to let others edit. More on that if needed.

UPDATE (7/9/21):
1) I added a 4th layer: Rivian service and/or sales locations. I will start adding to it this weekend based on location information in this forum. (minor update 7/10: I added the ones that looked like very solid addresses from the thread on service centers and showrooms)
2) I am starting to add fields for additional data for each point, including status (permit, construction, online, ??). I will also try to have Google use different icons and/or colors for each status. It should work perfectly, but there are so few points with different statuses right now that I'm not 100% sure it will scale the way I expect. (minor update 7/10: I have also added a field for the source for the info, usually a URL to a RivianForums post or to a news article.)
3) Automating the point names for my "crude placement" layer was going to end up being trickier than the time it would actually save. I was able to churn out about 100 in an hour while watching tv (so not moving as quickly as I could with 100% attention). I will keep churning on that over time. Eventually I will get them all named, but honestly I don't think the names really matter all that much, so I'm not in a big rush.
4) I am going to look at some other options for this whole setup beyond just the basic Google My Maps. Those may allow a little more flexibility on crowdsourcing updated locations or status. "Free" is currently the most important criterion though, so I think it's going to stay where it is for now. The good news is that the data should be easily exportable from My Maps, so work done now won't go to waste if I change later.

UPDATE (12/10/22):
1) The layer for "target areas" now reflects 3 statuses: Open, Soon, and Other/Unknown. That will give an overall impression of progress and what's expected to come in the short and long term.
2) The layer with known addresses, including Open, Construction, and Permit will stay the same.

UPDATE (through 1/22/23):
TeamEV broke out the layers a little differently, which is an improvement for sure. There's still the original "target areas" layer. There's a new target areas layer that reflects the change on Rivian's site to show a more limited list of sites that are online or "Coming Soon". That way we can keep a bit of a "historic" record of the complete original plan while letting us focus on just the current version of the official map.

Can we add Capitol Heights SC? They delivered my R1S and are the ones to do my Service work.

Yeah, I’ve been really delinquent with Service Centers, especially since they updated their own map to include all existing and planned SCs. If I have time tomorrow, I’ll get that layer updated to what’s currently open.

Thanks! Now to try to figure out how to save your map…I keep coming back to the link from here to reference

Any updates on Sedona, AZ? It's been awhile.....want to time my next MTB adventure in Sedona.....
