Showed my wife "This is what a Rivian charger looks like"

Her response
"That's a Rivian Charger!?!?! Where are we gonna put that??"

Obviously on the side of the house... Jeez.

Why did they mount them sideways?

When you use one mounted that way you’ll know

I'm assuming it's because the cable connector is closest to the charging port. But imo it just looks awkward, the name should have be facing forward at least.

So I just used my first RAN charger today (Sacramento) and my first thoughts were that they installed the charging units the wrong way round. I even took photos thinking i was going to post something on this forum to double check. It was really awkward trying to bend the cable around the unit to fit it in the charge port. I was convinced they screwed up, to the extent that I checked YT videos and this forum to see if that was the case.

Basically don't drive right the way in. Have your truck sticking out a bit so that the cable reaches without bending it around. It's clunky but the charging flow rate was good. And its free so no real complaints.

Thanks for that info.
Seems to be as mystery as far as I'm concerned why they're turned 90 degrees.

I've accidentally parked too close to a station where I needed to access the cables at the front and I had to pull further away to be able to do it. One less problem with the stuff on the side.

Right on! I didn't know it was there. Hope to meet up with some other owners in the Augusta area.

Huh? I used RANs 6x now and it’s super easy. Don’t have to twist the cable like at EA dispensers. The sacremento ones are a bit strange though. Should have installed them at curb level and closer inline with charge port
