Rivian's portable charger is capable of 32A, vs the 40A of the Grizzl-E, so there's a little bit of a difference in charging speed (assuming your breaker can handle it). The portable charger also doesn't have wi-fi or "smart" capabilities, but I'm sure the basic features like scheduled charging...
Was planning on purchasing the Rivian wall charger, and even would have purchased it alone ahead of vehicle delivery, but Rivian was too slow and we bough an Ioniq 5 and needed something soon. Went with the 40A NEMA 14-50 Grizzl-E: https://grizzl-e.com/product/usa/smart/grizzl-e-smart/
Would be nice if Rivian considers local regulation when setting pricing and what is/isn't possible with regards to options and addons. I realize this maybe isn't a fair comparison due to volume and size of company, but Hyundai Ioniq 5 pricing in Canada has been set very specifically so that it...
I'm not sure this is true. I interpreted it as "you go a dollar over, you're screwed": https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/canadian-ev-incentives-pricing-taxes.847/
Hopefully I'm wrong.
Hey @TFLtommy, could the 150kW peak be due to the 400V pack? 350kW is only possible at 800V charging. Those EA chargers could have been current limited, and different chargers have different limits. The Petro Canada DCFC station near me has a 350A limit multiplied by 400V is about a 140kW peak...
Sounds like if you're converting your order, you get put at the back of the (large pack) queue? Pretty unfair for those that have been waiting since 2018 to get orders delivered later than a 2020 order made when the Launch Edition window was open. I wonder how many max pack order holders would...
With the max pack delayed until 2023+, and my worries about slow charging in the 400V R1 models, I put a deposit down for an Ioniq 5! Looks like a great car, with modern charging and battery tech!! Dealer emailed me the next day saying they'll have a demo vehicle that I can drive within a few...

Not sure what page you're looking at, and I'm not holding my breath for Canada deliveries :(
Which reminds me about the lawsuit against Rivian back in 2020 by another employee: https://unicourt.com/case/ca-ora-john-roe-ii-vs-rivian-automotive-llc-1080058
Looks like no updates there yet either? I wasn't able to find anything at least.
Can anyone find details about charging speeds? The Petro Canada and Electrify Canada networks both have 350kW capable stations, which are amazing for road trips. Hopefully Shell follows suit. The BC Hydro stations that are the more common ones here in BC are all limited to 50kW, so in...
