Dear Bruce, Thank you for making this interweb thingy more fun. Love, Everyone

You made my day. my 1.5 cents: charging to 80% is not the way to do it, especially on road trips. 15-65% is your target. Why? Even in our 2021 Tesla it drops below 100 kWh around 50-60%. It is a waste of your time to sit there after that. Make more stops. 80-85% is for food stops and in...

They really can’t afford to kill the max pack, even if they take a loss on every one for a bit. The folks running Rivian are not dumb people. They may have made some choices many of us don’t agree with. However, nixing the 400 mile pack on your first offering as a new company that has had a huge...

https://apple.news/Ao6op9iyBTROVfKfa8H5wsQ Assuming this is what that linked to. Cool stuff

Yikes.

Yup. The charging network will not suddenly be more towing friendly. The network will not be in the vast majority of off-road destinations because those places are 50 miles from current infrastructure. The charging network will not suddenly be 150 kw where they are currently planning by 2023 for...

June of 2023 I am ready to rock and roll. This will be a hoot.

Heh, right answer!

Heh, yup. This is exactly why folks who think that Rivian is really far behind in terms of software need to take a look around. ALL the EVs out there, for the most part, have some pretty big software and quality issues. Most of them will get it sorted with time. Some will not and go away. My...

That’s it. No more Dr. Pepper for RJ all year!

Put in at DSP what we could justify to take out of our cash reserves for a decade or more. In it for at least 10-15 years. The daily stock dance doesn’t interest me. Statistically, betting and forgetting on good stocks or good indexes (S&P 500) are the most likely to keep you smiling. To each...

Yellow and red will both be rare. That red looks awesome.

That sound will take some getting used to with the windows rolled down.

Fair enough, but there is a big if. IF you plug in, the costs will come pretty close. I looked up the RAV4 and it can do 40 miles on a charge. Based on daily driving habits, that means it will be all electric except for road trips. However, this report makes that assumption a bit harder to...

Nope. The request was what is the cost of 100% public charging, so these numbers represent that. That will not be the case for the vast majority of ev owners. On average over 80% of charging is done at home. So that cost per 100 miles drops to $0.09-0.15/kw. Sedan shifts to $3.30/100 miles...

Got our first EV this March and have 20k miles on it now. I have spent a LOT of time building a spreadsheet of charging and such. We do the VAST majority of charging at home. But if you had to charge only at public chargers: Doing some rough calculations- Information needed: Efficiency -...

Cool. I will teach Alexa the command “High-Five Opnwide” that will connect with your truck, run the open garage command, and send you a message “Hey dude!” In bright yellow font. Voila! Open garage and a little checkin with a fellow Riviot.

I am bummed. I already have an EV with “300 miles” of range that realistically gets 200 for the longer driving we do roughly 2 weekends a month during the school year(mountains, cold, highway speeds, often only 1 real charging option for the drive) and 3 times per week summer driving. My wife...

Wow. The folks who designed these incentives have no clue about the cost of batteries. We literally can’t get a Max Pack and ANY other features to get this incentive. *sigh* We are now skipping out on $15k in incentives because we want a truck with the range and towing we need.
