Hey all, I have a 2025 R1S and had Rivian Service install the new Qi2 charging pad that's shipping with the new 2026 models. I posted about it here:
https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/...wireless-charger-installed.59627/post-1041818
However, shortly after that I started having a ton of issues: thermal warning, key card not detected, charging failure. It culminated 3 days later when it went into turtle mode while on the freeway. I rebooted it drove a few more miles and turtle mode happened again. After that I limped it home and had Rivian tow in. Turns out the new charging pad isn't compatible with my 2025 (for now), so their eng department will need to investigate.
However, since Rivian did the install, they're going to put the old charging pad back and reimburse me for the retrofit. Those of you with a Gen2 that didn't come with the Qi2 pad should hold off and not try to do it on your own or even through Rivian if they for some reason allow you to. Just a FYI.
