Nice! I’ll be going to SA in July. And good to see some RANs in TX

I’ve been keeping an eye on the RAN network website to see when these were going to be up. If I saw correctly, I only see two sites expected and the SA seems almost ready (I hope). That’s great news! Any idea on if it’s almost complete ?

Looks really close to being ready, equipment all seems to be installed.

Lizardo talked to the Rivian personnel there...they said 2 weeks....that was a few days ago. Fingers crossed...from my contact at CPS Energy, he said it was ready but Rivian was the holdup with the equipment being delivered.

A shopping mall in Texas? @Count Orlok will be happy about this.

I'm driving down to SATX next weekend, would love to be able to use it. Doubt they'll be ready in time.

I always thought that these RANs were being placed near the jump off points for off road adventure areas. A high end shopping mall in a big city seems a little Teslaish.

Does Rivian have an idle fee like others do? Re: Please move once complete

^^^ Just for reference where it looks like it's located.

How did San Antonio score these before Dallas, Austin, and Houston?

Exactly. Places with actual service centers.

Not that I have anything against shopping malls—the more places to charge the merrier. But one would think that Big Bend and the Hill Country in ATX would be particularly appealing Rivian adventure kick-off locales.

Considering they are all free to charge now, safe to say the billing isn't activated for idle fees either. EA begins billing after 10 min idle. Probably a safe bet that Rivian will eventually implement one, but will probably be once they get around to even implementing billing for anything.

There will definitely be locations to jump off into off-road/natural adventure areas. At the end of the day though, chargers in locations like Big Bend, etc. would be used far less often than a charger at a mall in San Antonio. Rivian has to prioritize sites that will get more use in the short-term.

Exactly. Places with actual service centers.

Because people don't generally need to use DCFC in their home town, and the service centers themselves have L2 chargers to top off any vehicles in for service.
