I see a new RAN station on the Rivian app in Montrose, CO. Who is in the area that wants to go check it out.

218kW max rate, that's an interesting number.

You’re only 1100 miles away. That’s barely a road trip!

I'm only 60 miles away; if we head that direction I'll check it out! The concrete bases are done in Grand Junction but I haven't seen any equipment yet as of a few days ago.

I’ll be using this tomorrow afternoon. Great to have a better option in montrose.

Matches my max rate I’ve seen on EA

I also believe they are capable of higher speeds (at least I thought OOS Kyle said as much in his informational video) but I am sure they only advertise them at 218kW so people don’t complain and say why can’t I get 250kW or whatever with my Rivian.

Nice. I’m moving to SW CO in a couple of years. Ouray would be a great spot for a RAN charger.

Nothing really to contribute to the discussion of the RAN station, but I'm really glad to have been to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Really interesting, little-known NP.

Telluride road trip in my future! Need the one in Grand Junction operational too. Would be great to get one near Silverthorne and Steamboat too.

Same great experience as the Salida one at this new one.

I feel like what I imagine tesla owners probably experience today. Two charging stops (both RAN), easy to start, max speed charging, spaced well, such a breeze. This was our first trip on only the RAN which was pretty sweet, if they can get this built out it will be a great asset.

Stopped there on the L2 side after an airport run to make make sure my family members flight actually departed before I left the area.

Good location for that charger, trailer pull through was a nice touch. Definitely glad to see more options being installed out here on the western slope. Looking forward to Rivian opening up the L3 side to all CCS cars at some point....

Any news on status / timing of Grand Junction’s RAN?

I asked the @RANTracker on Twitter but so far, nothing back yet.

I’m excited for Grand Junction. Steamboat or the vicinity would also be really useful. Please and thank you.

What are people using the Montrose station for? Is it on the way to camping, skiing? Haven’t spent too much time in that area of Colorado.
