I'm planning to head out with my wife and 2 dogs tomorrow and I'm banking on a good experience at the Aberdeen WA Rivian Adventure Network (RAN) charger.

Can someone describe for me the step-by-step process of how charging at a RAN charger works? I have a SC Loaner R1S, and I want to make sure I don't have to be the registered owner of the vehicle in my Rivian Account (e.g., it doesn't show up as my car in my Rivian app).

Thanks in advance!!

Difficult to see how it could be any easier. It must “recognize “ your Rivian somehow l

Plug in, then do 50 pushups before inhaling a burrito at a nearby Mexican restaurant. Done.

Yup. For now, there’s no payment, and the RAN just knows the CCS vehicle on the other end is a Rivian. For future plug-and-charge, it may vary somewhat. But for now - enjoy!

Plug it in and go find a cup of coffee... Just like a Tesla.

I did that once and the charge failed, with no warning in the app. Verify charging actually starts before walking away.

Same when a couple were down at madras ran. Got in thinking we were ready to go. Best advice is make sure it starts then occasionally check app if not near vehicle…which isn’t possible with loaner

Thanks everyone for helping and giving me confidence.

As you all predicted, work super easy. Just plug and charge.

Man, I wish there was one of these closer to my home. Super simple and fast.
