Not a great angle but the F150 certainly looks considerably larger.

Amazing the size differential, yet the Rivian competes in performance.

Yes, this is 100% a real world problem that will happen often at EA chargers. It happens to me all the time in my Taycan.

EA locations are designed with some stalls for driver side charging and some stalls for passenger side. It's rarely possible to reach the cord far enough to charge when backing in, so really all EA locations have half the number of chargers they say they do. Also get used to ICE cars, hybrids, and cars that can't even accept 350kw charging to be parked at the 350kw stalls.

If you plug into a 150kw charger expect to see rates of 80-100 at best.

EA is adding locations but has no plans to modify their existing locations and it's not something people should think will happen.
Oh great- another EA charger problem. charging cords too short to reach the other side of the vehicle. Gas stations solved this problem, but EA doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the box (pun intended).
