Rivian RAN network now a filter option in PlugShare

[Budman]

Just noticed this today.

I sent them a note about 3 weeks ago suggesting RAN be added, wonder if I had some influence there???

Sweet, thanks for poking them.

Plugshare content does seem very user-driven, and there's not a lot of users pushing data.

I've been the one adding a lot of the "Coming Soon" RAN's near me based on the charging thread.

More contributors would be nice to help see what's coming. I don't know if the "coming soon" section is updated for most of the rest of the US.

Nice! I've maintained my subscription for Plugshare even though I rarely (never) take road trips. It seems like one of the most valuable apps for EV owners. Glad to support continued development.

Edit: Notice your screenshot says "Plugshare for Business". Any different from regular Plugshare?

I never noticed the "For Business" note. No idea what that is for...

Even when I'm logged out of PlugShare, accessing plugshare.com with my Safari browser shows the "PlugShare for Business" wording.

I suspect it's a vestigial thing of little significance.

I do use Plugshare but have changed all my filters (apps and in my R1T) to high speed and plug type. I'm not sure I would care who runs the charging service. Am I missing something?

Of course the "sociopath" (sic) received $7.5 Billion of our tax dollars to open the Tesla charging network. I figure I may as well get something for my money. To each their own.

The only vehicle I charge at Superchargers is my Tesla.

Because it has free Supercharging. So when I use it, it costs Tesla money.

It's actually just a link to take you to the Plugshare for Business area of the site. - PlugShare for Business | PlugShare

Too bad RAN doesn't do the same for Rivians, or at least a nice discount?

These days the Teslas that qualify for free supercharging are few and far between. It was a marketing tool they have been clawing back.

They did when RAN first launched, but it was a specific length of time for all vehicles, not a per-vehicle thing.

And IIRC, new RIvians get a certain amount of free charging at RAN. (Or is that only when use your referral code?)

One thing about Tesla free Supercharging (since I just got done with a "Rivian charged me ridiculous idle fees because I sat plugged in for an hour after I was done charging") is that Tesla does charge idle/congestion fees even to grandfathered free Supercharging vehicles.

I received my new R1T a week ago and there was no kind of discount for RAN and my referral only included the 500points. Plus no longer has the included portable charger like how my wife's Macan EV had. Must be cutting costs?
