Here is my back of the napkin calculations for the the 3 EVs in my household. None have been driven for the last nine days while I was working on the house. Numerous times I walked by all the different vehicles. So it’s been pretty much even Keel for all of them. The Rivian was losing 9% over...
You have cheap power!!! Here in California rates are about $0.29 to $ 0.58 per kWh. 3 kWh per day time 365 days is 1095 kWh. So here the cost per year is $317 to $635......That's not chicken feed. I am not sure if that is only 12 volt power that is waisted. Some part of that loss is keeping the...

Looks like the solar charger noted is also a battery tender. So why do you need the OBD connecter and a tender if you plug it into the 12v cig outlet?
I popped into the newish Burbank service center and was talking with the service writer who was very helpful getting my loose dash cover repaired. He told me about the new Van Nuys service center at 7701 Haskell Ave. It had just opened up last week. I popped by for a few shots and spoke to the...
I’m sure its posted somewhere else but I’m gonna let everyone in Los Angeles Rivian club know that it looks like there is a Burbank service center now. Here’s a screenshot. Looks like they are open until midnight.

Charging up at my 90 year old adobe garage in New Mexico. Had to run power to it from the house. 100 foot run of 00 wire to a sub panel. Cut in a trap door on the original garage door to run the J1772 plug outside.
Bold statement from PNM, our New Mexico power provider but true ! I have the EV rate and it's 3 cents a kWh between 10PM and 5 AM. My cost is about 1 cent a mile to drive my R1S. I can drive 1,000 miles for about $10 of electricity. That's about 3 1/2 gallons at just under $3.00 per gallon, the...
Just got my Ford adapter yesterday, September 12, 2024, and my Rivian adapter the next day. Here are some photos of both adapters and how they were packaged. My Ford lightning was bought in September 2022 so that puts it about two years ago. The Rivian was bought in January of 2023 and R1S vin...
I can say that it is noisy. Mine is noisy when it’s cooling the battery down for charging and cooling the interior. My Ford lightning and Tesla model three also go into that hyper mode and they’re very loud but it’s really hard to tell which ones louder.
