We built our house in 2022; and in preparation of eventually getting our first EV, I had the home builder install a higher 240 volt outlet in the garage. Future proof the home, right? Seemed smart.
Unfortunately when I went to the Electrical design features meeting back in Dec 2021, I didn't know what I didn't know back then.
So I selected a 220v 30amp outlet. (might have just been the cost factor too - $370 vs $2300)
Question is, has anyone had experience with this set up using a 30amp on their Rivian? From all the research and videos I've been able to extract that you can set the amperage in your Rivian (obviously don't want to burn my house down).
-To take it one step further, Can I use an "adapter" from the 30 amp - so I can use a ChargePoint NEMA 14-50? Reason I want that charger is because my municipal electric company offers a very nice $$ kickback and monthly rewards for using this brand.
Any insights or answers appreciated.
Hopefully taking delivery of an R1S Dual Motor Standard+ soon.
