  1. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    I am charging at 25A vs 48A. I drive less than 20 miles per day so I am using roughly 10kwh. Yes it is half as fast as my wall charger but I am asleep while it charges. This setup was also to have additional power when the power goes out and not buy a standby generator. I have a carport not...
  2. Is Gen2 worth $30k to $40k difference over Gen 1

    This has been my thought/feeling. Technology for EVs is evolving rapidly. I am staying away from the upgrade loop. Looking forward to the 2030 R1S
  3. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    This was more of a science experiment but I added 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery. Two days in and I am maxing out the battery which provides enough charge for the car. In total the project cost about $8k, so a 15 year payback.
  4. Is Gen2 worth $30k to $40k difference over Gen 1

    I spent $1k on comma AI and got a gen2 quad with a larger frunk and manual door handles
  5. Level 2 charging speed question

    My charger consistently charged at 11.2kw now it charges at 10.8 at 48A. I know there are heaps of variables but I did not know if L2 degradation was common after 18 months.
  6. Worth Upgrading to Gen 2?

    An upgrade would be tempting if I could apply the full value of my gen1 to a lease. The lease down payment is limited therefore I am paying and extra $5k in sales tax
  7. Worth Upgrading to Gen 2?

    i keep trying to justify an upgrade. But i cannot find a good reason to spend an extra $30k and it seems like a never-ending loop of upgrading. I just bought a comma ai harness to make up for the sub-par driver+
  8. Leasing down payment/trade-in

    Unless rivn offers 0% financing I will just buy comma ai and enjoy my gen1 for 10 more years
  9. Leasing down payment/trade-in

    I have a gen 1 quad that I paid 75k for and my trade in is 70k. Does anyone know why Rivian limits the trade-in amount on a lease. Louisiana reduces sales tax on a trade-in so this will cost me about $5k in taxes negating any savings. Am I missing something? Thanks

  11. RAN Survival and Sustainability

    I am sitting at a RAN charger contemplating economics. Currently there are RANs and Tesla SC in the same parking lot. Pricing is as follows Lot 1 RAN-.55 SC-.38 Lot 2 RAN- .55 SC-.30 Electrify America .56 but reduced to .42 with a $7 subscription. Yes I know RIVN is young and trying to grow...

  13. Vampire Drain Fix: How to solve in under a minute (indoor or outdoor)

    The vampire drain is mostly an annoyance..$80+k vehicle that wastes energy for no apparent reason. A friend wants to buy a RIVN but there is heaps of reservations on recommending one
  14. Long Road Trip: My takeaways, notes, suggestions, and lessons learned:

    Yes. The adapter from RIVN is good for supercharging. You will need a different adapter for level 2 charging https://a2zevshop.com/products/a2z-stellar-plug
  15. NACS adapter compatible with GM

    Can I use my Rivian adapter with a GM vehicle? Also can I use my adapter at any Tesla SC? Thanks
  16. Thank you Rivian Joshua Tree Charging Outpost, from a wildfire evacuee (Mach-E owner)
