It seems like a number of you are able to charge at 200+ kw for an extended period of time. Last weekend, I plugged into an EA 350 kw charger with about a 48% SoC. The charging rate quickly ramped up to 219 kw, much higher than I've previously experienced at either EA or EvGo chargers...
Thanks. I was trying to figure out if the Rivian can draw more than 48 amps and provide more power than 11.5 kW. It can't, so there's no reason for me to buy a level 2 charger that can provide more power.
Does anyone know if the amperage limit for home charging is 48 amps? The amperage setting on my R1S seems to max out at 48, but I may be missing how to increase the amperage above that level. I was thinking about installing a home charger that maxes out at 80 amps, but if the R1S won't take...
Rivian mobile service replaced a defective exterior driver-side door handle (the handle couldn't detect the RFID card or bracelet) today. This was a previously scheduled appointment. The tech checked for the sensor issue that is the subject to the recall. My R1S didn't have any issues. In...
I have found the Rivian Maps experience to be subpar, at best. I live in the DC area and I-66 is one of the main thoroughfares through the region and runs just a few blocks from my house. Rivian MAPS refuses to map any route the includes I-66, ever, even if Waze and Apple Maps (and common...
I had a Toyota Highlander hybrid for a number of years. I had to replace the tires about every 22,000 miles (and for a long time, there was one tire choice). By contrast, the tires on my XC90 lasted 40,000 miles or so with regular rotation. I’m not looking forward to frequent replacement of...
EA did not waive the charge the first time it happened. Interestingly, though, three of my five EA charging sessions have be complimentary. When I called EA this past Sunday to reset the charger, the EA rep told me that all sessions at the station were complimentary that day. ChargePoint also...
