Rivian App and Charging Locations

[Joel]

As I wait for my FG, FE, Adventure, Max pack, 20” black R1T I have been looking at through the app. One big issue I notice currently is how many charging location speeds are incorrectly labeled. In the locations that are in the my regular long trip paths are 50kw or 150 in the app. But most have 350kw as well and are not labeled in the app.
I wonder why the Rivian app has it incorrectly labeled. Is it because they have old database? Or is it because the trucks don’t go much higher currently because of the 400v limitation?

A couple of ideas (just guesses):
1. Because EA stations generally only have one or two 350kw stations they may have made the decision to not show the max station speed. They don't report EA station availability, so that may play into it as well.
2. They're aware EA 350kw stations frequently will only provide 150kw to the R1T, so they're dealing with EA issues.

The trucks go to about 196kw currently, and should be able to reach around 215kw with a software update (just assuming they bump the curve up from 450 amps to 500 amps). So I don't think it's that the truck can't take more than 150kw.

I peaked at 197.6 KW from an EA charger once last week. Would like to see that consistently...

The highest I got today (My first time trying) was 39!
It was at a 150 station (EA) and I already had 72% charge. So it could be because I was already so high. Dunno. It was a little disappointing. But then there was a Porsche Taycan that couldn't charge at all. So I guess whatever
