R2 Rivian Portable Charger for $400?

[CraigB]

Honestly, I’d just pick up a used Tesla mobile connector kit on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. That’s what I did when we got our second Tesla and they no longer included it for free. I think I paid $150 or so, but that was a couple of years ago.

Just make sure it's a 3rd generation mobile connector, not the Gen 1 or Gen 2 mobile connectors-- they "speak" a Tesla-proprietary protocol, not NACS and won't work with a NACS Rivian vehicle.

The mobile charger for the 2019 Tesla Model 3 was included, with both 120 and 240 connectors. If I can sell my Tesla and keep my charger I may forego the Rivian mobile charger and save $400.

This is my plan.

Someone on this forum is saying the the charger is free for certain states, such as California!

It says that right on their website.

Please provide that link! I haven't paid much attention to charging as I have been an EV owner for 9 years. But I am not finding it on the Rivian website.

Go to the configurator page and click on the accessories at the bottom.

Thank you! Again, since I already knew this charger stuff I did not bother reading the details ... my bad.

Damn, you bet me to it. I wish Ohio was on this list.

EZ, get Ohio to fully adopt CARB standards.

I kinda don't get it. They don't supply the charger or accessories with the R1S. So CARB standards can't have much to do with it right? Why are they doing this?

I have no idea.
