I did a quick search on PlugShare of chargers with over 150kW, non-Tesla, and a score of 8 or higher, and there is a lot of coverage on the east coast. EA used to have a lot of problems, but they have become significantly more reliable. Also the days of Chargepoint with only 62.5kW are long...
All EA, Chargepoint, Ionity, etc. are all 800V chargers. Tesla is the only major network that has a majority of 400V chargers.
On all my roadtrips in my EVs over the past 5 years, I've never used a Tesla Supercharger. The 800V will be a huge benefit for most people.
Selling a set (of 4) of 1EV R1600 wheels with Blizzak winter tires. They have roughly 8k miles on them. They mount using standard Rivian hardware and come with TPMS sensors. No curb rash, and are in excellent condition.
Local pickup only. I live outside of Colorado Springs, CO.
$1200
Two Rivian Gear Guard cables. One is the standard 14ft length, the other is a shorter length (8ft I believe) that Rivian no longer offers.
$50 each or $75 for the set.
I'm located in Colorado Springs, CO, and would prefer local pickup only.
Edit: The 14ft length sold. I still have the 8ft...
And which of these specs scream $640,000 Ferrari? Not even the best in class, combined with an ugly design. Ferrari should do better.
Four bespoke permanent magnet synchronous motors derived from the F80 hypercar, one per wheel. - Rivian launch editions and Mercedes G580 have 4 motors

The Purosangue looks incredible in person. Even Andreas Preuninger (head of Porsche GT program) said it was one of the most incredible cars to drive, and one of his favorite on sale today. It also has a NA V12 with 715hp. That is really rare today.
The Luce has none of this. It may have been...
Thanks!
We weren't planning on trading in the R1S, assuming the iX3 or R2 would be delivered late this year. But with this M5 available now, and a good offer on the R1S, we decided to do it. We were about 29 months in on our lease, and we were easily going to spend $2k-$3k to get the R1S ready...
Well, my wife changed her mind pretty quickly. Test drove an M5 Touring on Saturday and came home with it yesterday. They gave us a great price on the R1S lease buyout, so we only paid a couple thousand to get out of the lease. However, we would have at least needed new tires, and repair two...
My understanding is automakers like Volvo and Porsche are not doing European delivery for EVs because of charger compatibility. Not sure if you are able to charge a NCAS EV in Europe even with an adapter. I know this is why Porsche has not allowed Macan EVs or Taycans to have Euro delivery.
I didn't realize the 2025s were 400V. That changes things quite a bit. The discounts on the 2026s are not as good. I probably need to wait and see how lease rates pan out for the various cars.
I will admit, the EX60 is growing on me. It may be a toss up between the R2, iX3, and the EX60. The other thing I discovered yesterday is the EX90 (3-row) has some serious discounts right now and can be leased for similar prices. I know they had some major software issues at launch, but if those...
Exactly. We currently have an R1S and a BMW i4 M50. We love both of these cars for very different reasons. Our R1S lease is up next, so the R2 and the iX3 are our leading contenders to replace it. While we love the Rivian style and interior, the iX3 with a sportier ride, better comfort and...
