  1. Gen 2 Max Pack Fast Charging Speed with 2025.18.01 Update

    The charging curve doesn't tell the charging story completely. It's the time to add X amount of energy that is important. A change to the charging curve that looks "big" doesn't necessarily translate into a big reducing in charging time. I'm only seeing a minute or two of improvement over a...
  2. Gen 2 Max Pack Fast Charging Speed with 2025.18.01 Update

    Charging curves are one way to quantify charging performance. For me, I like energy added in a given amount of time. That's what's really important. Charging curves don't really capture that for me.
  3. Gen 2 Max Pack Fast Charging Speed with 2025.18.01 Update

    At bottom of UI hit the lightning bolt tap, that screen has been completely redesigned. Then, Top left corner of screen there is a "Charging" and a "Energy Monitor" menu option.

    Yes, that is possible. Will continue to gather data and update periodically.

  6. Gen 2 Max Pack Fast Charging Speed with 2025.18.01 Update

    In summary: Incremental improvement. Maybe 1 minute faster for on boarding 60 kWh of energy. Longer Story: I've had a Gen 1 Large Pack and now a Gen 2 Max Pack R1T. I've recorded all my Electrify America charging sessions over the last 3 years and the data is summaries below. The different...
  7. Be careful using “Prepare for fast charging”

    I've seen it go to 80 to 90F most of the time for optimal fast charging. 100F isn't that much higher.
  8. Max Pack Charging Speeds

    Here is my experience at EA stations for adding a certain amount of energy for a given amount of charging time. I've had both a Gen 1 and now a Gen 2 Max Pack. I'll update this chart with the latest software update just rolling out. The different lines on the chart are for different levels...
  9. Austin to Anchorage in my R1T [trip updates coming]

    Me too. It is only helpful for general route planning. In actual practice I find PlugShare much more useful. Thanks for this thread. I’m trying to convince my wife to do this trip to Alaska next year. Your experience will be very helpful. Good luck.
  10. MEVCO R1Ts spotted in STL area.

    I did not know who MEVCO was. Looked it up, their website is full of R1T images and sales info.
  11. Austin to Anchorage in my R1T [trip updates coming]

    You can consider using PlugShare for trip planning. It is actually my first choice for trip planning. Even if you use ABRB you end up double checking charger status in Plugshare so I figure, just do everything in PlugShare. I wrote a forum post on how to use it here...
  12. Rivian Autonomy Platform+ Trial Extended (Subscription Start Delayed)

    Even if it were perfect I would not pay for it. Don’t want it. Don’t need it. Make my vehicle simpler and less expensive.
  13. RJ: Rivian ADAS will expand to Tesla style FSD - full self driving on highway and roads (from driveway to destination)

    I'm with you. What I want to know is can I get a vehicle that does not have all the sensor/software/development expense and get a lower cost vehicle. I would sign up for that. I'm now paying a heap of money for something I don't want and will not use.
  14. Fast Road Trips with Max Pack?

    I have owned both the Gen 1 large pack and the Gen 2 Max pack. They add equivalent amounts of energy in a given amount of time as the chart below shows. i have kept detailed charging records on my road trips and can also say my experiences have been the same with electrify America and...
  15. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    Maple Grove, MN RAN location now under construction. In an upscale shopping area.
  16. Walmart’s upcoming charging network plans & first charge experience / review

    Hopefully they will put some in areas well off the interstate. The freeways are pretty well covered but secondary roads not so much.
  17. Max Pack Charging Speeds

    I can state with a high degree of statistical confidence that my new Gen 2 Max Pack R1T charges as fast or faster than my Gen 1 Large Pack. I've used primarily Electrify America on my road trips (very successfully). The charging session data is shown below. ** There are 39 charging sessions...
  18. Efficiency boost from 2025.10 update? Anyone else seeing this?

    Did the efficiency increase with the most recent update? Based on my testing I think the answer is clearly no. My most recent trip is denoted with the blue arrow. It's actually a little bit worse but the wind was a bit high. Will continue to monitor but I would be very surprised with it had...
  19. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    What is the Minnesota location? Clicking on the pin says “Maple Grove” but that is not where it is located on the map. Maple Grove would make sense as there is an REI there.
