charging

Hello all, I hope all is well I received my R1S on 10/18/23 has been a amazing experience and loving my R1S only thing is ever since I have taken delivery I have had issues trying to charge it my first charge was at a super charger and everything went smoothly from 20% to 70% no issue a day...

Recently my R1S has not been preconditioning the battery when I set a charger destination in the nav. I’m curious if this is because of mild temperatures (60s and 70s recently). Or perhaps because I’m not going past the charger, that is I’m setting the destination as the charger so it might...

Looks like they’re shooting a commercial yesterday? Here is what Pilot Flying J is doing: https://pilotflyingj.com/press-release/19335 More fast chargers is a good thing! ?

Just an FYI for folks, the other day I was looking at my Costco rewards and noticed they’ve updated the 4% category on their credit card to include charging now as well as gas purchases. Now they need to add chargers to all their locations!! ?

When the new Rivian start coming out with a Tesla compatible charging port, Rivian said they will provide adapters to previous version owners. Most J1772-Tesla adapters have a “does not support supercharging” disclaimer. Will Rivian provide a supercharging adapter?

New R1T driver. I noticed the charge port locks in a charge cord while charging, but allows someone to pull the cord if not charging. Not digging this as it gives anyone access to the internals of the port to vandalize and or rip off charge port door. I also tried to set up scheduled charging...

Came across ChargeTrip and their EV range prediction and routing platform. It’s a great tool for an EV to see real life range around the place you live or to plan your next EV trip. Easy to use and customize and seems very accurate based on my experiences in the area I checked out...

I have an upcoming trip and wanted to make sure my truck gets charge. I set it up this morning for the first time and it started charging right away when I plugged it in even though I set it to charge an hour later. I think I know the issue but not sure how to resolve it. On the dashboard, it...

I just charged my R1T overnight for the first time with the wall charger. I set it to charge from 12am to 6am. I’m not able to find in the charging session summary how long it actually charged. It shows how long it was plugged in which was about 13 hours but I know it took less than 6 hours to...

I was on my way to pick up my daughter, who had been hiking the Allegheny Trail, when I found myself most of the way down a wet sloppy mountainside with three large boulders in front of me, each about 2-3 feet tall, intended to prevent vehicle traffic on the trail. I never would have been there...

Getting tired of looking at social media posts of dead battery EVs on the road with a portable generator attached to mock them... not sure why people feel compelled to video any EV that runs out of fuel but not ICE, but it is true that it would be quite unpleasant. Would love to start seeing...

I am getting ahead of myself but, I'm already looking forward to whichever update lets us live view Motion Cam. Here's why: When I know I am parking for a long time at a shared charger and someone is already in one space I will plug in and disable the charge to let them finish quickly. But then...

Lately I've been trying to time charging the Riv alongside the peak solar production on panels (peak output at 6kwh.) What I've been finding is that I can make sure I'm only using my excess solar production if I go into the truck and modify the charging speed to about 20amps, which gets me about...

The center console wireless charging pad included with the Rivian R1T and R1S hasn’t worked that well for us, so we sourced some USB-C and Lightning cables and created an adapter that works great to charge our phones in the same position as the wireless charging pad – and wireless charging still...

I took off an vacation parking my Rivian R1T in my apartment parking complex and came back to a completely dead battery. The 12V battery looks to be dead as well completely. The car wouldn't unlock any doors or ports and nothing seems to work at all. It completely drained the full 40% to 0%...

Tonight was the first time I’ve ever plugged my r1t in at home and received an error with the red glow of shame. I have the rivian wall charger. I went to my app. Realized the wall charger had disconnected from the wifi. I followed the rivian app instructions to reconnect my wall charger to...

Trying to understand the reason for the difference in charging rates between the R1S and the Model Y. When you’re at home, both home chargers are 11.5 kW but the Rivian quotes 25miles/charged hour and the Tesla gets 44miles/charged hour. What’s the reason for the difference? Can Rivian catch...

I just hit over 1,000 miles In 2 weeks of ownership, hence I can no longer return my R1T. The reason why I thought about it is because it doesn’t fit in my garage and would have preferred the R1S for more passenger capacity. As a first time EV owner with no current home chargers set up yet, I...

I was watching this video from Ben Sullins: and am a bit puzzled He has a section re. Rivian's charging speed vs. Tesla and how, all else equal (same hardwired wall charger), the Rivian charges more slowly. Why would one car charge more slowly than the other, all else equal? I am obviously...
