I don’t have any updates on this site, the permit was still open a few weeks back when I checked.
Both the Superchargers in Burley are open to Rivian if you have an adapter, the one Supercharger is 100 feet from the Rivian permit location. If you’re towing the Airstream in your picture, I had...
I have been following this install closely as it’s close to home. It took at least 3 planning and zoning commission meetings to get it pushed through.
The city insisted Rivian add much nicer landscaping that was irrigated, Rivian had multiple rounds with a landscape architect. Complex...
The Hailey, Idaho (Sun Valley) RAN charging location was conditionally approved by the Hailey planning and zoning commission this evening pending Rivian installs a rock or something for us to sit on and picnic while we charge.
From a technical perspective, in addition to the new dispenser style...
We’ve also been towing our 19 foot, single axle Airstream without a WDH. It tows amazing on just the ball and I love how much faster it is to hitch and unhitch, especially for charging stations.
We did go with the Built Right hitch that has the optional sway ball for high wind days.
Ahh yes, I got the wrong route.
I did see several new chargers open that weren’t last week, the second Supercharger in Burley, Idaho and Two Harbors, Minnesota are two examples.
If anyone is hoping for a specific one I would keep checking.
This whole route is showing open now on the Tesla map.
I noticed many other v3 superchargers that weren’t showing last week are showing now, at least in more remote areas.
Awesome setup!
I bought some folding cones off Amazon for the same purpose. Can also use them to block the space in front of the trailer if I need to unhitch to charge.
There is not many charging stations setup like gas stations today. Even the Pilot / Flying J sites are often normal parking spaces where a rear charge port would mean unhitching.
The next meeting for the RAN station in Hailey, Idaho (Sun Valley) is tonight. When looking at the meeting minutes, the document references "RAN 1.5 CCS Dispenser Product." The cable looks longer and the screen is on the side.
The full planning doc is here, the Rivian provided documents start...
I expect the Supercharger access to have a slicker experience than the current Magic Dock experience and I don’t expect us to need to use the Tesla app.
Unless something’s changed, I expect there to be a billing component where we will pay through Rivian, hopefully with plug and charge, and...
The Hays EA station had an extended outage for several days recently and it got a lot of attention and complaints. The way this was the only location added and feeling out of nowhere feels like a very online response.
Also will not complain about another location.
I’ve only found one company that makes it as a drop hitch, but Bulletproof Hitches has a friction sway bar only option. I plan to buy this for our R1T as our trailer is under 5k but I want the optional sway protection when I need it...
