EVBase Phone Charger

[nebcomp]

I traded in my Gen 1 R1S for a Gen 2. It's really a great car. However, the phone charger doesn't work that well with Android phones. So I ordered a 2025+ replacement phone charger from EVBase. Unfortunately, my new car's original charger is different from the one the EVBase unit is designed to replace. I cannot move the charging coils from the installed charger to the replacement -- the frame designs are different.

I tried calling EVBase but their voice mail is "full." So I emailed them but haven't heard anything back.

Anyone else have a good experience with EVBase customer service?

For better Android charging without messing with the factory pad, a dash mount's the easy route - we make two for the R1, one that clips to an AC vent and one that mounts on the dash, both wireless. Since you're on Android they hold magnetically (MagSafe-style), so a cheap stick-on magnet ring or a case with one gets you a solid snap-and-charge. Dash one's here if it helps: https://twraps.com/products/dashboard-phone-mount-for-rivian-r1t-r1s

Thank you for the information. I will take a look.

I have a Galaxy phone with a MagSafe case, so I can use one of my three dash mounts; I have a far left, a far right, and one next to the center screen, but only the left one has Qi charging. EV Sportline, EveryAmp, TWraps, and Abstract Ocean all make mounts on/around the dash.
Most days I use the TWRAPS far left mount that uses part of the vent gap with the QI pad from them, which has the extra benefit of A/C air blowing on the charging disc cooling down the phone; it can charge in full sunlight at full speed with the A/C on.

They make junk that doesn't fit at all, and customer service will gaslight you, jerk you around, and then they will offer a partial refund to get you off their backs.
