The car can charge at any rate in 1A increments. The J1772 communication standard allows the following rates: 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80 (80% of the breaker) so the EVSE can only tell the car "here is the most I can supply." If the EVSE notices an issue, it can request the car to...
Yea $.17-$.20 I'd pay all day for home charging. CA is expensive. Edison people are getting ripped heavily approaching $.40
I wouldn't worry about a few solar credits.
The existing stations do up to 900v. They have 500a cables. R1 batteries are 450v, hence 225kw max. The rest of the switch gear seems to limit to 300kw (kva) instead of 450kw (kva).
There is no choice. They have to go in sequence as ota's. The main computer could probably be flashed in bootloader mode but that would leave all the other modules behind. Android automotive works the same way as a android phone.
There were a few cases of people accidentally hitting the lever while stopped or going slow and the car accelerated to the speed limit. Rivian put some safety measures in after that.
Yes the debate on removing gas appliances in CA has been ongoing. I manage a bunch of apartment buildings in LA and also have a general contractors license. I've built over 500 homes in CA and HI. Here is the the problem with gas appliances. It creates and energy monopoly that electric utilities...
Sounds lik the car isn't even in your name. Did you coordinate with the seller and rivian to transfer it?
I would try turning off the auto update function if your firmware has it. That causes it to pole immediately because it doesn't know when it will have a chance again some time. I would also...
Changing subjects a bit, does anyone else find that the rivian brakes are horrendous? 99% of the time it's all Regen so no pedal at all which is fine. 0.9% there's a panic stop. That 0.1% you want performance braking and they seem completely incompetent with no feedback or modulation and...
If you park next to your unit, you might approach your landlord and ask if you could have an electrician put an outlet off your panel. You would likely recoup the money saved pretty quickly over fast charging. Even a 30A 240V outlet on an apartment panel will make things worry free. Then buy a...
I had S4's on my Audi and S3's on the BMW 325. They were great tires that rode and handled nice even at speeds above 14mph ;) on the freeway. Only made about 25K miles. Switched to the Pilot Sport AS on both which handle "fine" but I can tell the compound is harder and harsher. For that trade...
