Great question.....

Reassuring. He has no problem using this even though its not approved by the vehicle manufacturers yet. Charging speeds were comparable to CCS chargers. Surface temp increased by 20F, which he felt was better than expected (to me, it seems significant, will be interested to see how that...

I guess it depends on your viewpoint. Last winter I would loose literally 3-5% per day. This winter, it's more like 1% or less. I'm thrilled with the improvements, down to a couple miles/day.

In the Jan 26 post above Lectron said " We are delighted to announce that the Vortex Plug Supercharger to CCS Adapter has entered mass production. Shipping is set to commence at the end of January 2024. " Sounds like manufacturing has started. To the second question, the short answer is I...

Agree, for a first approximation, admittedly making a lot of simplifying assumptions, takes longer to charge, only go from 20 to 80%, but some people will level 2 charge at hotels, malls, and restaurants when traveling, etc. Unfortunately, EV's probably won't be a majority of vehicles on the...

I think, in the best case, Rivian has been and will be in Panic / startup mode for 4-5 more years.

I wonder if station mean physical locations or if it means 30,000 charging connections to charge vehicles with 4-8 (?) charging connections at at each physical location? Edit to answer my own question.... From the Ionna press release, I think they mean 30,000 individual chargers, not...

Likely. We have been for the last two years..... I bought a previous version of this Shockflo adapter on Amazon, more than a year ago. Have used a half dozen times or so., get 10-11 KW on chargers than are capable for that. Also used it once on an EV6. Looks like you can preorder...

Lots of good predictions. I'll add a stretch prediction, many predictions mention RWD or FWD option. I predict Rivian never sells a truck or (true) SUV that is not AWD in my lifetime. (A model Y, for example is not a SUV...) AWD and the vertical oval headlights continue to be part of...

I wish pricing would be a surprise, but I expect base price standard battery, dual motor AWD no less than $49,999, outside the mainstream market window. I hope to see changes that make maintenance and repairability less expensive and doable by non Rivian service shops. I expect a built in...

I wish. Fingers crossed. I‘m just south of charlotte. Needed Atlanta SC visits 4 times so far. Mostly repeat items, multiple times. AC failing again, need alignment again. But just hearing “Atlanta service center” is worse than fingers on a chalkboard. Tesla got some sort of...

Lectron, who is selling and manufacturing (but apparently not yet shipping) a NACS adapter mentioned: "Early adopters of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) will begin gaining access in the first half of 2024. Subsequent access will be granted to other automakers throughout the rest of...

Seems like a few designers from Ford were brought in help with that design...

I support the front end design, and believe the design is a plus rather than a negative to a majority of shoppers. I get that the design is certainly not for everyone. I love walking up to my truck at night, seeing the headlights come on and scroll of color across the light bar...

How to draw Rivian R1S step by step for beginners Seems like an important skill to have, right?.

Got an update from Lectron today about their CCS to NACS adapters. No new specific info on when they will start working... but apparently they have some confidence in their design and timing, to start production. Most companies don't like to build inventory, so I expect they were confident...

True. Lots of articles about EV Station pricing. Charging at home is a signicant savings for me, 6 cents/kwhr if I charge at nite. Almost $100/month vs gas on my last car, Subaru outback. Love driving by the lines at the SamsClub station near my house....

I agree completely. Have 3d printers, will look at this. Would welcome any sketches of other suggested solutions...

My longest has only been 19 days, but my truck was in 4 times the first 13 months. A/C still has a slow leak, SC literally told me they cant' troubleshoot in the winter. Took all of those 13 months to actually fix a fast charging problem, wow, I can actually take a long trip now. Truck...

Wow....I stand corrected.... Thks
