I thought that sounded interesting so I planned a R1T max trip along my main migratory route with two stops charging
12 --> 69%
10 --> 79%
Driving time 11:29
Total time: 12:18
Then I tried it again with shorter legs and charges of
58 --> 69%
14 --> 51%
20 -- 48%
26 --> 51%
15 --> 48%
Driving Time 11:35
Total Time: 12:49
And then I tried it with a Tesla MX
55 --> 78%
12 --> 59%
10 --> 71%
Drivig time: 11:08
Total time: 12:21
This is an ensemble of 1 trips so by itself it isn't that significant but here's what these numbers show. Getting to the big gun EA chargers adds 21 min to my driving time (R1T to MX) but the higher charging capacity of the big gun chargers gives overall trip time estimate 3 minutes faster than the Tesla net.
Charging the Rivian at a lower rate but at lower SoC costs 6 minutes extra driving time but 31 min in total trip time.
These comparisons are quite favorable IMO. Looks as if the EA network is sufficient along at least my most frequent route.
