On my most recent trip To Joshua Tree I was able to stop and charge at the new Rivian Outpost which is open to all EV vehicles. If you’re near the area I highly recommend making the stop. Refreshments, merch, play area kids and FREE JERKEY! Enjoy!

Stopped by there this past weekend, great spot. Just wish there was food in walking distance.
Depends how you define "walking distance". It's less than half a mile to a pizza place and about 3/4 mile to some more options.

I’d say that it isn’t very close but not very far lol

Walking 15 minutes each way to get lunch seems too long if you are only charging for 40 minutes before going again.

Yeah, for something like that, it would definitely take a little planning. I'd phone an order in ahead of time when you're maybe 30 minutes out, stop by the pizza place on the way through town and take the pizza to-go, then head to the charging station. It looked like they had a picnic table there at the outpost. I've done something similar by calling a pizza place 30-45 miles down the Interstate and ordering a pizza to go for eating in the car when on all-day road-trips in a gas vehicle.

Do you charge past 80%? Most of my charges when I travel are in the 25-30 minute range but I rarely need to go past 80%.

Only if I need the range. It's rare I reach 150KW.

Strange, this is a typical DCFC session for me, this was today at a Tesla SC, green is kW, purple is charge %. This went from 33% tp 70% in 24 minutes.
