How did you hear it was open to other CCS vehicles? Did you see a non-Rivian charging there successfully?
It's been reported on this forum as well as couple other forums.

Hopefully it was just a brief configuration error issue.

It's the only RAN station where I've seen reports of other CCS vehicles being able to charge.

I tried the one in Madras, OR and the two chargers I tried did not work on an R1T.. Could have been the truck's fault as it's the first and only time I'd tried level 3 charging. A hard reset did not fix it though.

I don't drive in Michigan so I've had no chance to use it. I hear it is being renamed the MAN.

You should open a ticket and take it to the service center. I had the same issue and they had to change a module. Took them a couple of days.

no experience. None of the sites within reasonable distance to me have any hardware.

I know you're just being snarky, but come on man. Michigan has 3 of 28 open RAN stations. 3 of the 27 listed as "coming soon" are in Michigan. Is that a higher proportion than the population? Sure. It's not like they've got 10 stations in Michigan and 2 everywhere else.

They've already got 7 open in Oregon and 9 in California. In roughly the same time that they have 6 in Michigan, they'll have 4 in Arizona and 4 in Colorado. If you're going to give it a snarky name, shouldn't it be the PAN (Pacific Adventure Network)?

Used Grayling, MI RAN twice. This is way too easy. Love it.

I’ve used Manteca, Sacramento, Bishop, and Truckee multiple times (Barstow once). I’m so impressed with all these locations and their dependability. My experience with EA and other charging stations has been a mixed bag. Rivian has made my longer trips in California 100% better and less stressful.

well MI is ~ 3% of the US population and has 11% of the open RAN. How many in NM? Zero and Zero "opening s00n." Major national parks like Glacier? none. For an adventure vehicle it seems odd they would not build out where people drive them to adventures.

It is not as if those MI chargers are along some high traffic corridor either. Compare MI to IL.

Yeah, I'm sure there isn't a single person in Michigan or nearby states who adventures... We all get it. You're pissed that they aren't catering to YOUR needs. They'll get there. RJ said they're still hoping to have 600 sites built out in the next couple years. That would likely include 9 in NM plus ones in El Paso and Pine Springs, TX and multiple locations in eastern AZ and southern CO. You'll get what you want. Don't be a dick about others getting what they want sooner.

being frustrated with the lack of opened/planned sites in places that are useful for a larger number of drivers is not being a dick. I guess some people just don't like sarcasm and have to resort to insults.
