Just watched the latest E for Electric YT video where the host (Alex) had EV industry expert Tom Moloughney go over some of the key factors to consider when selecting a L2 EVSE for your home/garage. I'm sure there are people on this forum that don't have an EV yet or may be upgrading their...

A little more of an official response from Rivian on Twitter albeit still lacking detail.

Michael McHale, Head of Corporate Communications at Rivian, announced via a LinkedIn post today that he is leaving Rivian. "Hello all. I wanted to let you know that as of today I have separated from Rivian. There is no great drama here - and I am incredibly proud of the work I have done for...

I know there are a few of you out there, myself included, contemplating which one to order - R1T or R1S. One of the things I’m mulling over is the cargo area of each. So what do we know or can infer at this point about each cargo area? R1T Bed dimensions: Width: 54.5”, Length (gate up /...

Came across this YouTube video posted by the Australian 4WD Adventure Show interviewing fellow Australian Charles Sanderson, Rivian Vice President of Vehicle Integrations and Development, while at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff, AZ back in May. I suspect most on this forum have heard most of...

NY Times put together a nice article on RJ and Rivian. Not quite a TLDR but here are some excerpts from the article that I had found interesting and had not read before. "Rivian has received tens of thousands of reservations from buyers who have made deposits of $1,000 each." "As...

... that is, if the Koch brothers and their cronies get their way according to this Sierra Club article "Who Wants to Kill the Electric Car This Time?" One of the many groups the Koch brothers help fund to fight the EV tax credit have a slogan for EVs - "Built by billionaires, bought by...

YT channel TFLnow conducted separate interviews with RJ and Charles Sanderson, VP of Vehicle Integration and Development, during the private event recently held in Denver, CO. Of the topics discussed was a big one, IMO and I'm sure others, servicing. Still lacking specifics but RJ and Charles...

YT'ers Sean Mitchell from All Things EV and Gali Russel from HyperChange TV visited the Rivian headquarters and discussed their takeaways.

OK, the title is a little tongue-in-cheek but check this out ... "If you want an electric pickup truck, you sort of don’t have any options right now because none currently exist for the public to buy, at least here in the U.S. There’s the Rivian R1T, of course, but it isn’t available yet. And...

While searching for any EV-to-EV charging, I came across this recently filed article of TheDrive interviewing RJ. The elusive CEO confirms auxiliary battery packs, vehicle-to-vehicle charging, and his love for Porsches in our exclusive interview. A few highlights from the interview/article...

Source: electrek.co - "Chevron starts deploying EV charging stations at its gas stations" Oil and gas station companies are increasingly looking at adding electric vehicle charging stations at their locations in order to stay relevant as the industry moves to electric. Chevron is the latest...

I believe Rivian has not officially announced who will be their battery supplier but there are plenty of articles on the internet deducing it will be (already is?) LG Chem. If that pans out to be true, I wonder what measures Rivian is taking, if any, to ensure their production schedule will not...

It's interesting in conversations about EVs and energy efficiencies when the topic progresses to the carbon footprint to produce an EV and the various factors that play a role (e.g. battery size) which then typically evolve to the myriad of variable to help offset that footprint (e.g. charging...

With Rivian's first time production tasks ahead of them I think it's safe to say it was only a matter of time we read the "delay" word ... but in this case a costly one. Optimistically speaking though if this is the worst of any future delays, I'm good with that! Source: "Delay to upgrade...

Jens Meiners final got around to posting for autox.com his impressions of the vehicles at the New York and Shanghai auto shows - "The US and China face off again – but this time it’s the battle of the auto shows!" The little he had to say about the Rivian EVs was not much. None the less, I...

Nice article on the progress of Electrify America (EA) installing chargers across the US. Click on "Inside Electrify America’s plan to simplify electric car charging" Some where on this forum I believe there is a thread or comments made about if Rivian will provide free or subsidized charging...

If you're as anxious as I am to drive one of these EVs to help determine to either submit or keep your pre-order deposit, this will come as welcomed news. :handsinair: Here's an excerpt from a Teslarati article dated May 3rd: "Rivian appears to be setting the stage for the introduction of a...

Another opportunity to check out the R1T pickup and talk to staff at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff, AZ on May 17-19th. Unfortunately it doesn't look like the R1S SUV will be there. From the email Rivian sent out:

Fairly new to the EV world. Picked up a few things from friends and co-workers that have PHEVs and BEVs. Eager to learn more, hence joining EV forums. Targeting 2020 for first EV, assuming I can wait that long. ;) Looking at the glass as half full ... Since Rivian has a target release date no...
