    Charger recommendations anyone?

    I bought a Rivian charger in 2022 along with my truck. Both live outside under plenty of rain, and I haven't had a problem with the charger cables or anything else when charging my truck.

    Is your R1T your first EV and/or first truck?

    "Love the one you're with," is a good thing I believe.

    Daily charging protocol in cold weather states. Not worried about electric expense.

    This works well for me too during the winter time in Washington State where my R1T lives and charges outside the garage 24/7. I also precondition the cabin temperature from the app on my phone about 5 minutes before I leave.
