I guess my point is, you only would be taxing the batteries themselves if you were trying to run the Winch while the truck is not powered on. When the truck is on, you would instead be drawing from the DC-DC converter, just as the batteries themselves are. If you put the winch on its own circuit...

Are you sure you’d need an additional battery? I suppose if you wanted to operate the winch while the HV system is offline, maybe, but when the truck is “on” (aka, after you’ve pressed the brake pedal), it should be using the DC-DC converter to bear the load, no? Rivian‘s configuration is such...

I’m in Ann Arbor. Cars & Coffee is this Saturday 7:30AM @ Zingerman’s Roadhouse!

Parking garage. I was on the 5th of 6 floors on an inside aisle (The structure can hold more than 5000 cars)

Between 25F for lows and 54F for highs.

Just a datapoint: Parked my R1T in the DTW Big Blue Deck for 8 days. Left it at 71% SOC, got home late last night at 61% SOC. About 1.25% loss per day parked.

Oops. Misremembered. That pesky “.99” at the end…

Two bucks more for a Spotify “duo” account which is specifically designed to accommodate a couple like this!

For mine, the wiring just was not present within the space behind the light, leading all the way out through the port where the wire comes in. I’m going to have to see if I can keep following the wire back, but that would involve removing the Frunk tub, I think.

Odds are one would need a different EVSE to work with this setup. I suspect this setup will lead to disappointment.

I think I’ll probably end up with option 3: Get the 20 to have as the daily driver cooler and icemaker for the camping trip, and bring a cooler that I can keep continually filled with ice. Maybe. TBD.

Thank you for checking! I’m bummed that about an inch on one dimension is keeping me from a 50% increase in volume from the ICECO 20. Now to think some thoughts about how I’d like to stage things in my car for my camping trip.

Much appreciated!

I’m really hoping that there will be a marketed version of a “Portable Generator” that works on the CCS V2X standard. I’d envision it as an inverter on wheels with 120VAC and 240VAC outlets on it, that plugs right into your CCS port on a standards-compliant vehicle. This would allow for you to...

Does the JP30 fit into the Gear Tunnel?

I checked today. No wiring harness there. I felt inside and followed the wire to where it exits the tub housing and nothing. Looks like I’d have to remove the Frunk tub to see what’s available to me if I want to retrofit an outlet into that space.

Gonna have to pop my light and see if my wiring is there. I have a 15xxx VIN.

I tried reasoning with my Guide about the insurance requirement, too. I told them that Michigan state law has a specific form that insurers will issue same day that’s good for 30 days of coverage. Then, insurance providers have that full 30 days to issue a full certificate of coverage that’s...

I’m really hoping that Rivian adopts the Apple CarKey protocol, even if they can only do it for NFC if the truck doesn’t have ultra-wideband hardware inside. Having NFC would still give you the Rivian Wristband experience with the phone and Apple Watch. Given that Rivian is a member...

I’m not sure I understand what this does for me vs just using the ABRP app on my phone while I’m in the car. Is this about having a more accurate state of charge while underway?
