After reading that Astoria OR station is about to open, I checked the map. And the Normal, IL site is up. Only four sites are left - Pismo Beach, CA, Wickenburg AZ, Albuquerque, NM , and Columbus, TX. I wonder when we find out about other ones.
Well it seems my mission is to notice new RAN charging stations! I just look from time to time andā¦
today three new stations have appeared!
Pismo Beach,CA - really useful going up the coast for me!
Cisco and Columbus, TX
All needed locations! Happy Motoring...
We just visited the Joshua Tree Outpost charging station. They have tours today and described how this Outpost differs from the RAN chargers. Really nice place and fits in with JTNP. They are looking to coordinate with local affiliated nature and scenic centers. We gave them some suggestions...
I wonder if this has anything to do with spending that infrastructure money? And those DOGE dingbats.
Shoshone RAN station on way to Death Valley NP is now shown to be open! And I was planning on going there soon! Yippee!
Anyone up to checking it out? I suspect an announcement soon from Rivian!
Just switched out my original Pirellis on Rivian R21 rims with these new Michelins. The Pirellis lasted 35K!
I was on BFG KO2s on third party wheels from Americas Tires for an addition 15K miles until this change . Back on the K02s next year when off-roading fun returns for me.
So far...
I drove by Joshua Tree this past Sunday and saw a little building with concealed chargers about to completed just North West of the main entrance on hwy 62. Didnāt get a pic but will pass by again Wednesday and will get pics.
it reminded me a lot of this place...
Iām checking out the new Rove charging station in Santa Ana CA off I5.
Really nice place on the grounds of the old HomeTown Buffet that my kids liked long ago! 40 chargers mostly busy. Gelson overpriced mini mart and nice lounge as well. Pics below.
Really nice. 58 cents per KW at 2:30 so...
Well I got the email from Rivian a couple of weeks ago (VIN 12xxx Dec 2022 pick up new) and today it arrives!
So letās compare the Unknown Chinese Co-to-Tesla-to-Rivian-to-me one with a Lectron model! Iāve been using the Lectron one successfully after the first time when I loosened it with...
It took about 3.5 hours to complete this off road adventure from Ouray to Telluride CO last week. Iāve whittled the pics and vids to 10 minutes of YouTube video for your watching amusement :). If you donāt care to watch it, continue discussing where charge ports should be :). Otherwise get out...
Looks like there are Rivians everywhere here in the Colorado mountains! I saw one on our road and one was at Enginneer Pass today!
Aside from some pics to prove it, when we stopped people were saying āfirst time I saw one hereā and such. But right at the pass we were in an Imogen Pass traffic...
Another one? The northern Utah RAN station is operational on the RAN map! Can anyone check that out? See https://rivian.com/experience/charging
That map has been non functional when you expand in. Sounds like CrowdStrike hit Rivian too!
While waiting for my Rivian supplied one, I bought a Lectron version several months ago hoping it would arrive before my eclipse to Texas. Instead it arrived last week :)
So I tested it two nights ago at a Tustin , CA Tesla supercharger. Picking a time after 9 pm, the station wasnāt half...
