Not sure I saw this mentioned in in any of the earlier response, but can you easily remove this trailer from a truck if you have horses inside? 99% of the high speed chargers deployed today are not pull through, so that could be super challenging to have to charge a truck when it is pulling a...

5. Range- Drove to houston this weekend and the predicted range did not drop with speed. Basically, the faster you go, the less efficient the vehicle and the predicted range should drop; it didn't and this almost led to a problem. Thanks for sharing. I was curious about this item you...

Here is the link to the Electrify America plan for the next couple of years: https://www.electrifyamerica.com/assets/pdf/cycle_3_electrify_america_national.7b5067f4.pdf That was the fun part of being an early EV adopter - the math and scavenger hunts on trying to get from point A to point B...

This is a thread on "charging horror stories." I have them, and shared the context. If you don't like the context behind my charging horror stories, feel free to put me on Ignore. I would have said the same thing if I was in Boulder and a Tesla with a Grateful Dead sticker was blocking the...

Since this is a thread on charging nightmares, let's hear yours, please? What type of EV do you drive? Would love to hear your stories on blocked chargers whether it be in rural Virgina, or downtown Alexandria. You want to hear more about mine? I had a guy threaten to shoot my tires out...

Were you just short of a level two charger? If so, I would recommend caring a J1772 extension cord. You can find them on Amazon. I carry one just in case something like this happens.

Appreciate your contribution to this thread. Six and a half years experience of driving EVs - done over 125,000 miles and been in 12 states, so I have seen and experienced all kinds of chargers being blocked. I comment from experience. Also, this is a forum about Rivian electric vehicles...

Not to derail this thread any further, but why would anyone purposefully block an electric vehicle charger? That goes for a Tesla parked in a CCS compatible charging space and not plugging in, a huge semi blocking all the Electrify America chargers in Salina, Utah, a pick up truck blocking the...

Something not mentioned in this thread is that at some point Electrify America is going to have to carve out larger spots for charging with both Rivian's rolling out, the F-150 due out this year, the Silverado due out in '23, and that ugly piece of $hit Hummer that should be out in low volumes...

Has absolutely nothing to do with a max pack. I survive more than fine driving a Taycan across most of the western US that has max 225 miles of range in warm weather and while driving 75-80mph. I also drove from Denver to Vegas multiple times in an 200 mile range Audi e-Tron back before...

Wait, someone with common sense commenting on this thread? I thought it was reserved for the "sky is falling" and "Rivian is self destructing" crowd? OMG the COO is leaving after two years, it is a sign the company will never deliver another vehicle again!!!!!! Jesus, people, get a grip...

You have to be patient because the worst kind of charger blocking happens in more rural areas where people are openly hostile to ZEV's. These are the poorly educated, Fox News watchers who have more guns than sense. In my road trips out West, I have adopted a certain charging pattern to...

If you are going to explore areas with low numbers of charging points, I would recommend reading this thread: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/a-kinder-gentler-smaller-more-affordable-and-useful-road-warrior-ev-charging-kit.6812/ It will provide you with a list of charging accessories...

I meant EASTERN Washington, my bad!! If you check Electrify America's Cycle 3 plan https://www.electrifyamerica.com/assets/pdf/cycle_3_electrify_america_national.7b5067f4.pdf. You will see that in a couple of years Electrify America will open the major interstates in the northern plains, so...

I get it. Western Washington looks a little bleak on Plug Share. But, by the time you get your Rivian in 2023 I bet it will look pretty different. At least one can hope, or you will be spending a lot of time at slower level 2 charging spots.

Sorry about that, man. If that is the case, then be honest about what you know. Charging at a CCS compatible charger is not an "adventure" - thousands upon thousands ZEV's charge at a CCS location daily with no issues. No need to create unnecessary drama. Expect it will take years for...

Bingo. Lots of people have "feelings" about what happened, but don't know $hit. Rivian is a technology and manufacturing company, and these types of organizations tend to churn through people. Tesla is a prime example of this. People need to relax. Go find a hobby to entertain yourself...

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I will never buy an ICE car again, so my garage will only have a Porsche, a Rivian, or maybe an Audi moving forward.

Yes, but it is one of those rare vehicles that checks just about every box you want. It drives better than 99% of vehicles on the road, it charges faster than all but one EV, and it is flexible enough of a vehicle to be a great road trip car or a daily driver. Is it perfect? Absolutely not...

This is why it is important to understand the Charging curve for Rivian, and how it handles different climate conditions as well as how it handles battery preconditioning when you have to charge. We have seen snippets of data, where people have shown pictures of charging rates of 30KW, 50KW...
