On way to Mammoth from SF, stopped off at Lee Vining RAN-in-progress. Electrically it looks ready to go. Pedestals, cabinets and transformer are all in, and by the humming it sounds like the transformer is live.

Only saw one cable (on the trailer pedestal), and looks like they have some paving and cleanup left to do.

Site plans for Walker. And more Michigan sites coming up soon.

Rivian has a mega hard-on for putting more chargers in Michigan....FFS.

The Walker one fills a pretty big gap for people that live in Indiana, Illinois, etc to get into northern Michigan.

They still have a bunch that were originally planned that haven't made an appearance yet. Three around Metro Detroit, one in Ann Arbor, one in what looks like Coldwater, one near Silver Lake, and one in Cadillac area.

If I had to guess, I'd say the one in Ann Arbor is probably going to be next to show up- It'll enable travel for Ohio and other Eastern states. The Tesla supercharger network for NACS vehicles currently doesn't have great coverage to act as a substitute for Ann Arbor/Grand Rapids (Walker) locations.

Thanks to a helpful hint, I was able to find the permit for a RAN charger in Burley, Idaho, next to the Tesla Supercharger.

Address: 268 E 5th St N Burley, ID 83318 Permit Link

This will be a great stop before the long, windy and windy drive to Tremonton, Utah.
Any updates on this site?

I don’t have any updates on this site, the permit was still open a few weeks back when I checked.

Both the Superchargers in Burley are open to Rivian if you have an adapter, the one Supercharger is 100 feet from the Rivian permit location. If you’re towing the Airstream in your picture, I had good charging with my Airstream at the Heyburn EA twice in the last few weeks and there’s plenty of room where you don’t need to unhitch.

Ah excellent news, thanks! I'm really glad we are getting access to the SC network! I'm also glad we deferred our Utah trip from this spring to next spring; as it turns out, we would have been fumbling around down there and having the SC network open a week after we got home would have been irritating lol.

Updates since March 23 (#1,766)

About a week after the last post, Evergy installed the utility transformer. At that point, it didn't have an electric meter installed. I drove by today and noticed the electric meter is now in place.

The charging pedestals were still covered like in the last picture, but it looks like everything is complete and the site is just waiting for Rivian to come test the install and commission it into service.
