    ODOT NEVI program update

    ODOT had a webinar this morning about the NEVI program. A lot of the Q&A answers were somewhat vague, but a couple things I learned: Faulty charging units are expected to be addressed within 48 hours of the reported problem. Pull through stations for towing vehicles are part of the plan for...

    Vampire battery drain...in the key fob

    After only 2.5 months of ownership, my key fob battery required replacement. Maybe I just started with a poor battery and hopefully won't have to replace it every 2-3 months. Has anybody else needed to replace their factory fob battery?

    Tested the new Soft Sand Mode today with R1T

    Had a blast today playing around in the sand. Some efficiency info that may be useful for planning for this type of usage: If you are just driving straight and flat along the beach it seemed like that was somewhere around 0.8 to 1 mile per kWh. I may share some additional pictures/videos...

    There had been some discussion about concern of heat issues running a powered cooler in the frunk and possible mitigation strategies. I wanted empirical data before considering drilling holes and such in the frunk tub for venting so I tracked frunk temperature during my recent trip over the...

    My R1T Charging Session Data - From 25% SOC to 85%

    I had time to drop by a CCS charging station today so I documented the data from it (data points were captured at each minute). This was an EA 350 kw charger. I charged from 25% SOC to 85%. This took 44 minutes to complete. Peak rate was 154 kw. At 25% SOC, the mile remaining estimate was 68...

    Rivian tech job postings in Seattle
