Either tesla wall charger, or only GEN 3 Mobile charger will work.

Tesla Gen 1 Mobile Charger works great with my Gen2 R1T Quad. Tesla Gen 2 Mobile Connector also works, but needs to be power cycled every time to get it to work with our Rivian, so not ideal, but works in an emergency. Tesla Universal Wall Connector works great as well.

I'm in the same boat looking for a wall charger for my new R2. I definitely go hard wired (not plugin). I will have an electrician installing it. Here are few to look at The Best EV Chargers Of 2025

Most likely it will be the Emporia Pro:
Amazon.com: Emporia Pro Level 2 EV Charger with PowerSmart, Compatible with Tesla/NACS Vehicles - 48 amp Fast EV Charger for Home - 240v Electric Vehicle Charging Station - 25' Charging Cable : Automotive

Or alternatively this one:
Amazon.com: Autel Level 2 Home Smart EV Charger NACS, Up to 50Amp, Hardwired 240V EV Charge Station, Indoor/Outdoor Car Charging Station, Flexible 25-Foot Cable, Compatible with Tesla : Automotive

That’s interesting. I have Heard and read that both gen 1 and gen 2 with current NACS Rivian do not work but maybe Rivian has figured out the communication path to sync with those 5 to 8-year-old Mobile chargers. Once I get an R2 or my local neighbor in the next couple weeks I’ll give it a try.

If that's really an issue, Best Buy sells it for the same price.

Also, just get a $50 J1772 to NACS adapter and use your existing wall charger. There is no need to replace it. You'll want the converter anyways.

I wouldn’t poo-poo WiFi in a charger.
My Tesla Universal was error coding (flashing red lights) describing a grounding issue. Also, the handle was quite hot.
I retightened all the connections btwn the charger and circuit panel(two were just a bit loose). When that didn’t solve it, I connected the charger to WiFi and it did and immediate software update.
Problem solved.

Here is what I did as my concerns were mostly about protection from weather, ease of access, and to block the green charging light at night.

Later, the box was painted to match the siding and it almost becomes invisabile.

An EVSE is just a fancy on/off switch, the actual charger is inside the Rivian. Any level 2 EVSE will work with any BEV or PHEV as long as the connector matches, or you have an adapter. I am using a ChargePoint with the J1772 connector and the provided Rivian NACS adapter, works perfectly. Have used this same EVSE with my Taycan, PHEV XM, PHEV Cayenne, G580 and now the R1S with zero issues.

I love my Grizzl-E. Key difference in my opinion is that the cable is more flexible when it's below freezing.
