There are chargers that exist that aren't in the nav or have their power listed incorrectly, etc. For example, Ionna stations are not currently in the nav and are starting to be installed around the country.
Also (to give you another use), if you are going to go downhill for a while, if the battery is not properly pre-conditioning, you would have limited Re-gen on the way down.
This! Will be a massive help for me and anyone else in mountainous regions.Also (to give you another use), if you are going to go downhill for a while, if the battery is not properly pre-conditioning, you would have limited Re-gen on the way down.
Last March in my trip to Colorado, I set a charger (that I didn't need) on the bottom of a big descent (Loveland pass), my battery was nice and warm and I was able to have Re-gen ALL the way down. On my way back home, my battery was colder and I didn't find a close enough charger to assign (I did select a Tesla SC that was further away) and I couldn't regen all the way down to Denver. I got limited re-gen multiple times.
So, this would help
Would be good if the vehicle did this automatically as it should know navigation waypoints and elevation changes and optimize battery temp to be able to utilize regen vs friction brakes.Also (to give you another use), if you are going to go downhill for a while, if the battery is not properly pre-conditioning, you would have limited Re-gen on the way down.

In Canada, one of the most major players in BC, BCHydro was completely absent from the Rivian navigation for the better part of 2 years, at times one software update would add them, then they'd be absent for 6 months, then back then gone completely. Not taking credit here, as others had reached out to Rivian through their CS channel, but It really wasn't until I reached out to Wassym directly on the subject, that it got fully sorted in a subsequent update. Thanks Wassym by the way!
I wonder how accurate that number will be in the winter time. I can't wait to see if I can get it to say 0.Best part in my opinion, something already seen in Porsche, is current max charging capacity in realtime! Finally!
