I've noticed RAN sometimes only going up to 150kW, even with no other vehicles charging at the location, and a low SOC. (On at least one other occasion I have gotten over 200kW.) 150kW is suspiciously half the 300kW that the chargers are supposed to be able to do, and I notice that chargers are...
Investigating buying a Rivian, coming from a Tesla. I really don't often use Tesla superchargers, but when I do, it has been one of these two while I am coming/going from a ski trip.
On the Tesla Supercharger website/map, they have marked these as "open to all" and part of the NACS network...
Drove back from Mammoth Lakes, CA yesterday and the RAN in Bishop, CA was all messed up. Got there and pulled up to a charger, all 6 were available. The charger had ”FREE” under pricing, YAY! Plugged in and it went thru the motions and the station displayed the green lights. However, my...
Guess it doesn't matter that only two of six are working. What matters most is charging speed consistency, and not the availability. Or maybe there's a bias? Hmmm....
Tesla charging at RAN charger at Tru Hilton hotel in Naperville, IL. Didn't realize Rivian had opened up their chargers for other EVs already. Side note, currently charging my R1T at 7.6 kW ??
Anyone been to this RAN lately? It still shows on the app as free charging.. but wasn't sure if that was an error or not. Curious why this one would still be free and not the others.. (hoping they keep it free.. love to go Muir Woods on a day trip, and charging here for free would be amazing)
Apparently went offline in chunks sometime during the 7-10pm hours Nov 26… yeah the dreaded Thanksgiving trek through Cali. Instead I waited 2.5 hours at an EA.
unfortunately the Rivian app had me routed to this charger only to arrive with it dead. Obvious feature request: differentiate between...
Planning a trip to The Dalles this last weekend, I noticed a new RAN located there! Yay! I'd be towing my trailer, so I'd be low on charge, and wanted extra charge to run the trailer over the weekend. Showed up, and the trailer spot is a back-in. Not only is it a back-in, it's one with a barrier...
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...
Decided to head to the coast this morning, saw in the Rivian app that it showed a new RAN at the Lincoln City outlet mall. Showed 3 stalls.
Showed up in-vehicle navigation, too, so set it.
Got here and there are 3 problems -
1. It directed me to enter the outlet mall parking lot in a...
I received an email from Oregon DOT asking for consumer input on Oregon's EV charging network. I've included a link below to their webpage where you can complete a survey and also use an interactive map to indicate where you would like to see charging stations. I already added likes to...
