Orange, CA RAN is now open!

Filter settings?

Nope, set the same as always and other RAN stations show up. No big deal now I know where it is but would only use in an emergency anyway as I'm not road tripping in the area.

Charged there today. It’s in the north lot (L1) across from Nike Store.
Rate is 55¢ daytime (39¢ for night owls). Non Rivian add ~10¢.
3 NACS, 8 CCS.

Charged there yesterday. First ever RAN use. Flawless plug-and-charge experience and it was with a NACS adapter (thought I'd test it instead of a CCS1 dispenser). Starting SOC was 38% (limit set to 85%) and rate showed 223 kW at first, then settled and stayed at 219 kW for about 10 minutes before the expected derating started. Total session was 36 minutes 23 seconds and added 73.4524 kWh. Best of all, free, because of Rivian Rewards. 10/10 will use again. This site is very underutilized: no waiting. The only negative? only one driveway in and out of the lot and it is easy to miss for first-timers because of landscaping. The driveway immediately after it is more visible and is a dead-end, below ground, service driveway for the parking structure.

I am of the philosophy I will use what is most affordable + convenient.

If SC and RAN are on the same lot, I will go with the cheaper. This has always been SC (with a monthly plan).

I still lament the fact RAN is not discounting rates for subscribers of Connect+

Thanks! I typically use the SC in Garden Grove off Harbor (better location) but glad to see this one open!

I've used this three times now. All mid-day during weekends when lots of people are out and about. Each time either hardly anyone charging, or more than half of the dispensers were unused. No waiting at all. Can't say the same for most Superchargers in SoCal, which are typically busy until late night. And this RAN is not far off of i-5, right next to a large shopping mall. It's also open to non-Rivians.
