Portable Jump Starter

[dradam]

There are many good suggestions in the forums. Rivian is a new brand. I think it’s incredible brand , but there are growing pains.
This is just my own personal solution. Hopefully you’ll never need anything. if you are buying a GEN 2 or R2 probably nothing at all to even consider. I have been following the forums for about six years now. I worry about everything but I’ve never had an issue. Best wishes.

Yeah so there are no ready packaged solutions? That’s shocking tbh.

Shocking…LOL. There certainly are but I haven’t yet researched availability. My brother has one but it’s out of production.

Given the feedback that the portable Li-Ion packs are not sufficient for EVs, I think I'm going to pare down my roadside kit to hi-vis vest/reflectors, basic recovery straps, gloves, and maybe a small screwdriver/wrench set and just keep it in the trunk. If I find a good deal on a portable jump starter, maybe I'll carry one for helping others, but sounds like if I get locked out or stranded I'm calling a tow trunk either way.

I just bought my wife a Li-Ion battery jumper pack ("Type S" at Costco on special for $45) so I can steal back my good jumper cables that have been in her hybrid car since we traded in my older IC car. Plan to put those in the frunk along with most of the good idea list you have above.
