I am super lucky to have home electricity rates at just a little over 0.08 a kWh in Newport OR, and of course exclusively charge at home...until I don't have enough turn around time. I had to do a rare charge at a RAN in Lincoln City OR last week, and had an "Oh MY" moment to pay 0.54/kwh. So...
Sorry you had to experience that! The Spring Break traffic has been very heavy here all along the coast, especially with the extra nice days we had Monday and Tuesday. It seems like some people are totally oblivious there are EV charging stations even when they clearly marked.
But I have never...
Me too! I can go more than a week without seeing another Rivian on my central Oregon coast town. I always wave when I see another Rivian but the responses now are not the same when I first got my R1S 2 years ago. I agree it is fun and friendly and feels like we're in a club lol. Keep up the...
Yes, 0.60-0.68 cents translates into around 0.30 cents per mile which I agree, is a lot. Makes road trips in an EV not as attractive. Yes, I agree that hopefully the RAN can incentivize those who have bought Rivians and 0.36 would be great.
Hopefully moving forward, they are going to be able to open the RAN to others with their new chargers (according to your article)

Well, I guess I must be a Conservative moron with solar panels, EV cars, wash my Rivian in the rain using saved water from the gutters to rinse it, make one bag of garbage every 3 months, have a small garden that we compost in etc etc. But it feels good to be more self reliant among other...
Oregon is a VERY heavily Democrat state and for registration renewal:
Vehicle is all electric**
$316
If you want to pay 2 cents per mile, you can pay a reduced registration renewal fee.
For just title and registration, expect to pay over $500. We paid over $800 2 years ago to the Oregon...
Thanks for that. I hadn't investigated the early start of Tesla before.
Regarding the initial question, Tesla Network chargers, according to this article, in 2012, under Musk as CEO is when the charging network started becoming a reality. https://www.britannica.com/money/Tesla-Motors
So IMHO...
I have an R1S and absolutely love it. I usually charge at home, but this fall took a girls road trip and subscribed to the Tesla Charger network for a month only. I didn't want to mess around looking for chargers like I do when it is just my husband and me. It totally paid for itself the first...
