  1. EVGo gets $1B loan guarantee from DOE

    You're right about NEVI. It's a federal grant program to the states who then use the funds for contracts to build chargers. The federal government has no involvement in the selection of companies to build the NEVI-funded chargers other than to set the criteria that has to be used by the state...
  2. Dogs and Rivians ?

    Are you sure that's your dog and not a muppet who escaped?
  3. Anyone using the third-row (R1S) for dog transport

    Sorry for your loss. Was she a German wirehaired pointer? We had a 13-year old Spinone Italiano who we lost in January. To keep my post on topic: We used a harness from a company I don't even remember the name of and don't think they still exist. It was not crash tested to anywhere near the...
  4. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    Yes, at least one grouping of 2 or 3 pedestals, and 2-4 Waypoint L2 chargers if they're also in a shopping center with restaurants.
  5. Is Tesla V2 SuperCharging still impossible for RIVIANs?

    Not the most popular national park in the world. Not sure what is the most popular worldwide, but in the US it’s Great Smoky Mountain National Park by a sizable margin. That area could also use more chargers, but it’s not too bad. Rivian and Tesla both have DCFC within a hour on the south side...
  6. Good news for NACS adapter shipments. Tesla ramps up production to 8K units per week

    of course, the GA fuel tax was suspended completely for more than a year, so that $230 was infinite fuel purchased during that time. I really wish we would drop the fuel tax and charge an annual fee based on weight and miles actually driven.
  7. Ford delays new EV plant, cancels electric three-row SUV

    It's a shame Rivian hasn't been granted any of those lovely EV factory loans that the Big 3 have gotten. Might really help with the finances for the GA plant build.
  8. EV Sportline Sliders with lifting pucks

    Based on his response: Use a metal file to make the hole very slightly bigger.
  9. StowNCharge by Adventure High Tech - Out Now!

    The JSAUX should work unless their new flip-out stand makes it thicker. I ended up using the official Apple MagSafe pad since we're all iPhones, but there might be some future compatibility advantages to Qi2 -- but downside for older iPhones.
  10. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    Down to 9 "Soon". They have tended to update that part of the map in batches. Probably due for a batch update "soon".
  11. Reuters: VW locks in production of QuantumScape Solid State Batteries

    Sorry, I really don't see how having a software joint venture would give Rivian any insight into the batteries that every EV maker won't likely have anyway. They're all getting cars from each other to do thorough testing. If Rivian is a potential customer of QuantumScape, they'll be able to get...
  12. Reuters: VW locks in production of QuantumScape Solid State Batteries

    doesn't affect it at all. The VW-Rivian joint venture is all about software and zonal architecture controllers.
  13. Dogs and Rivians ?

    Your dog is broken. If they're still in the warranty period, I would definitely ask for service.
  14. NACS Adapter - still waiting...

    Come on. In the world we're in today, that would get at least as many angry posts as them saying nothing. Saying nothing means most people don't think about it at all. Sending a regular update to people would just remind everyone about something to mad about.
  15. Work In Progress - NACS Adapter Holder

    I need my door pockets for other things, but I'd love some way to store an AC and DC charging adapter together in the frunk... I'll have to look around to see if there's anywhere practical to hook something up... EDIT: Just saw the post about the Lectron adapter being too hot in the frunk...
  16. NYT: Tesla chief executive’s polarizing statements have alienated some potential customers

    You know you can ignore these threads and enjoy the other excellent content people share on here, right? ;)
  17. Rivian and VW exploring deeper collaboration: hardware and production

    Holy shit dude, be a bit less of a judgmental asshole. The heart of MTG's district is 100 miles from the Rivian plant location. I think the NIMBYs from Social Circle are idiots, but they sure as heck aren't the majority of voters in Georgia. They aren't even the majority of voters in Social...
  18. A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    Looks like they've completely redesigned the latch mechanism to have a spring-loaded single latch/lock that connects the vehicle side latch to the NACS side latch. They say that will mean if the vehicle is charging and has locked the plug into the vehicle's port, the NACS side will also be...
  19. Rivian and VW exploring deeper collaboration: hardware and production

    Their source was probably this forum and all the day dreaming in that other thread. ?
