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...
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.
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.
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
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+
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
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...
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
Yes. The adapter from RIVN is good for supercharging. You will need a different adapter for level 2 charging
