RAN stations coming to Irvine CA and Lakewood CO

[VSG]

I can't see a need for Rivian chargers (especially since they only support Rivian?)

Out of the 141 currently open RAN sites, Rivian has opened ALL of them to ALL vehicles, except for 11 older sites.

I live in Irvine, and that entire area including nearby towns are heavy residential.

I can't see a need for Rivian chargers (especially since they only support Rivian?) when your home is likely very close....

Have you seen the glut of apartments they just built where stores were by taking over parts of the strip mall where the RAN chargers are going in?

I believe these chargers are in demand for those that live in apartments/condos without chargers AND people charging while shopping.

Yeah, I mentioned it toward the bottom of my post.

There are like thousands of new apartments there, so I guess it could serve them.

RE: Irvine RAN

Checking online regarding status and I see two recent Plugshare check-ins from same person.
3/11—Construction well underway
4/8—Slower progress than expected

Drove by Irvine RAN location yesterday, 4/26. Zero progress whatsoever. Looking through gaps in the fence, they broke ground thus far and not much more.

RAN pedestals are onsite, just drove by so I couldn’t see if they were mounted but they are placed where I’d expect them, currently rounding the corner of jamboree and the 5 northbound exit.

That's welcome news! When I swung by, all I saw was a small parked excavator and open trenches.

Irvine RAN is live and online!!! 10 plugs, all NACS. Gen1ers, bring your adapter.
