Each data point represents the efficiency from one entire trip. I have a vacation home in northern Wisconsin I visit frequently from the Minneapolis area. The data is the efficiency reported by the Trip A odometer in the Rivian UI at the completion of each 165 mile trip. It is reset to zero...

I've been a bit puzzled over that too. The Gen 1 Quad has AP and Conserve modes. I wonder if the EPA is a blend of the two. Gen 2 Dual is essentially always like the conserve mode on a steady speed drive like this. For purposes of clarity, I've only included data where I used the Gen 1 in...

I’ve posted my efficiency results many times before but here they are again. This is on a 165 mile route I do frequently. Mix of 70mph freeway and 55 mph rural roads. Avg speed is 54 mph. I’ve owned a Gen 1 quad and now a Gen 2 dual R1T

There is a switch in the Rivian nav that says “ avoid chargers that need adapter “. Is that on in yours?

Last summer I drove from Vancouver to Winnipeg on the trans Canada in my R1T. I had no issues charging. There are enough superchargers open that it was super easy. Go to the Tesla website or PlugShare and filter for SCs open to non Tesla. This summer I am planning to go to Nova Scotia from...

Rivian should put a station in Hayward. I see WAY MORE Rivians in Hayward than in, say, Holbrook NM where I was in April on my way to and from Sedona.

I have a cabin in Hayward, WI. I make the drive frequently form Minneapolis. As bad as the charging infrastructure is it has expanded 3x in just the 2 years I’ve owned a Rivian. PS. Get familiar with the ZEF network. For better or worse…….

This post will be of most interest to EV drivers in the Upper Midwest. ZEF Energy is Minnesota based charging network that has installed DC faster chargers (mostly 50 kW units) in small towns and rural areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas. While that are to be applauded for this...

We just did a trip from Minneapolis to the Pacific coast on Vancouver Island via North Dakota, Montana, Washington. Then back to Minnesota via the Trans-Canda highway to Winnipeg then south to MN. We had a bed top tent on our R1T. Nearly 5,000 miles. Our trip was smooth and uneventful. The...

Rivian charging stations are in plugshare. You just can't filter for them with the Network filter option.

Bummer; You can do trip planning on a Laptop at www.plugshare.com. Some of the trip summary outputs are better for me in the web version, like full trip elevation profiles with charging stops highlighted like this;

But, you enter the range you expect into PlugShare. It is only as good as your inputs.

I do not know of a way to send to vehicle.

There are numerous threads about what is the best route planner. ABRP or Rivian nav etc. My favorite, by far, is PlugShare trip planner. Not many people seem to be aware of it so I’ll give an example here and point out why I like it. This example is a trip I may do soon from Missoula, MT to...

Well done. Very respectable efficiency. Cool setup. I might look into something like that.

I’ve done a couple trips of that magnitude. I actually use the trip planner in PlugShare the most. The interface is really nice. You build your trip stop by stop as it has a nice display showing your range and what chargers are around that envelope. I have a primary charger and a backup in...

I think so. Take Minutes/kWh (my charts are a little wrong I know see, they have kW and should be kWh). Invert that number and multiply by 60. So 0.5 Minutes/kWh would be 120 kWh charging rate.

Tesla has a webpage where users can vote on new supercharger locations. Hayward, WI is on the list and has a pretty decent number of votes. A few hundred more votes and it could crack the top 10. Log on at the link below and vote for Hayward, WI...

The elevation data is available on the web browser version of plugshare (www.plugshare.com). I've not found it on the phone app. On the browser go to "Plan a New Trip" on the filters submenu. Create your trip with selected charging stops then there will be a Trip Summary tab that shows up and...

I don't have the adaptor yet so could only use the station in Ames, IA which is one of the Magic Dock locations. Quick, easy, reliable. Looking forward to using more of the Tesla chargers.
