Does anyone have an update on the status of the RAN charger planned for Orland, CA?

It is hard to say. I found out a lot depends on the city and permitting. For example, the Buttonwillow RAN station was sitting at "coming soon" for over 2 years and the Santa Nella one was announced in July and was operational in early November (buttonwillow did come on in late October).

I have seen (from these forums and FB groups) that the RAN stations are coming online faster now.

Actually they have slowed down the last 2 quarters. Hopefully this year there will be an increase.

I've been following the City Council meetings. It sounds like the council has come to an agreement and next steps are for plans to be submitted and approved. That is coming from the board meeting around September or October. I also emailed the City Manager a while back, sounds like it is on track. I've assumed a done deal.

Has construction started yet? Looking to head up to Redding/Lassen late summer and skipping Sac RAN.

This is why it takes so long to get things done. It is like driving by a construction site and seeing 15 people out there.....2 are working and the other 13 are talking about the work.

Firebaugh just came online. Now we need Orland to bridge between Sac and Shasta to get decent coverage on the 5.
Orland isn’t showing up in Rivian’s map as coming soon though… I hope it’s not scrapped.

Neither is Groveland, and there are photos of the construction floating around.

I find it strange we have a crowdsourced map that is better than Rivians.

I wish there was a way to have a map with EA, Tesla, RAN with toggles. (Oh wait Plug Share) but plugshare doesn't easily toggle brands.

Any Orland updates?

Off to Lassen this weekend, assuming I'll be visiting EA in Willow and Anderson.

Off topic but Lassen NP would be a great location for Rivian.

Lassen isn't open half the year so I'm thinking that plays a role?

? Orland isn't listed as "Coming Soon" on the Rivian website:

Location would be nice for our trips to the Bay Area.

Exactly. Looking at the RAN map, there is a big void along Interstate 5 between the RAN chargers in Mt. Shasta, CA and Sacramento. A RAN station in Orland, CA (which is right in the middle of the 2 locations) will surely be a welcome addition.

Any updates from the city council on the RAN in Orland, CA?

The best option I’ve found for the area if you have an adapter is the Tesla SC on Gas point Rd in Anderson. Way better than the EAs…

 

[djsider2]

Tesla Superchargers might be the way to go for this portion of the route. Maybe Rivian gave up and the adapter will get us there
