I am able to charge an iPhone 12 and 14 on the factory charger. both of them I have top of the phone pointing at the driver, 1/2 inch from left border and 1/2 inch from front boarder, sit the phone down and in about 5 seconds starts charging. I do not charge often but on a trip this has worked pretty well on the highway.As said above, the current Rivian charging pad is basically a paperweight. I never once got my iPhone 14 Pro Max to charge. Immediately upon going with an Adventure High Tech charger, this problem went away.
It's apparent that the Rivian one is way over-engineered for its intended purpose. That space is only large enough for two max-sized phones to sit in one orientation. I don't know how fast my phone charges when on the pad however, even with streaming bluetooth music, my phone always has more charge than when it was placed on the pad.
Based on feedback I've seen on this forum for both Twraps and Adventure High Tech, you can't go wrong with either choice. Make the change, be happy, and don't constantly worry about a solution from Rivian that's perpetually someone s00n.
