My response should have been 3kW. It autocorrected to 3KWh. A kW and a kWh are two different things.

Thanks Max! I'll say this. Every EV manufacturer uses a different algorithm to estimate the available energy in their battery pack. Some are more accurate than others, but at the end of the day they all are just estimations.

I'm sorry that you're not 100% happy with your truck. In that case, may I suggest you schedule an appointment through your app if you feel there is an issue that needs to be addressed. I am a Rivian technician and owner, but I'm on this forum only as an owner. I can help with common questions...

Ok, I understand what you're asking. Sorry for the confusion. I wouldn't say 3kWh/day is excessive. On really hot or really cold days above (above around 90 degrees F or below around 40 degrees F) you could see much more than that being consumed. But again, this is in line with other EVs in...

As they say, your mileage may vary. I've seen fans on in ambient temps as low as 64 degrees F. There are myriad different reasons why the fan engages, but do keep in mind that the HV pack also supports the 12V batteries. Which operate all low voltage electronics on the vehicle. Whether the truck...

I spent the previous 10 years working at/on Teslas, and the thermal systems management is similar to Rivian's. You will hear the condenser fans running (sometimes very loudly due to the high duty cycle requested by the BMS) when ambient temperatures rise.

It's actually not the interior cabin temperature that causes the condenser fan to turn on. It's the high voltage pack temperature that determines the condenser fan logic. No matter what state the truck is in. It can be driving, parked, locked, unlocked, in Ready mode or whatever. The battery...

It can. And it's not uncommon.

Paul, What you're hearing is the cooling fan running. The HV battery pack likes to live at a pretty specific temperature, and your truck will condition (cool or heat) the pack as necessary, whenever necessary. Ambient temperature will have an effect on this, but is not the only determining...
