Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
But certain brand electrons have fuel injector cleaner or something! Charge with EA 350+ and your battery will gain usable capacity!
Yeah if it works anything like plug and charge on EVgo you can walk up and plug in and not mess with the app first. But all billing and and charge info will probably be in the Tesla app like it is in the EVgo app. I’m good with that if it works that way. I would be surprised if billing is through Rivian app.
I know the rates aren't the same everywhere, but I just charged at the magic dock in Boardman Oregon yesterday and the rate was .36/kW. During the same trip, I charged three times at EA with two also at .36 with pass+ at one station and .42 with pass+ and also charged once at RAN also at .36/kW. BTW, magic dock worked great and is no longer limited to less than 150 kW, had a great charging session. In the areas I've been in the Pacific Northwest, EVGo has been the most expensive at over .50/kW.
I think Ford has the Tesla plug and charge go thru the Ford app so Rivian should be able to do that too. But I do think if you buy a supercharger subscription that you need to use the Tesla app to get the discount.
I have to disagree with you here. I have used only Chargepoint and Electrify America with rare exception. I pulled into an EVgo spot yesterday and "filled up" from 38% to 72% and it was $55. That would be 2/3 of that, at most, on EA.
Kind of an overstatment. GM only leased (the limited number they produced) the EV1, and then refused to sell them at the end of the lease. And then GM killed the program.
Just for accuracy there were a few limited one-off type EV's pre Tesla Roadster. Chevy S10 and Ford Ranger trucks come to mind, others as well. Not to discredit Tesla (Which began without Elon I believe) that brought EV's into "mainstream" in early 2010's.
Or use the Bluedot app…For EvGo stations near Austin, it’s $0.30/kW vs $0.59 + a $0.99 connection fee thru EvGo app (no subscription price). Yes, EvGo is also garbage.
since you found it on the chargepoint app it’s likely just a Volvo branded chargepoint unit like the “Mercedes” branded chargepoints that have gone in at Bucee’s locations in Alabama & Tennessee (that i know of)
I wonder how this will work for folks that own Teslas and Rivian's. Like if I charged at an SC, can I pay via my existing Tesla account and not pay the premium?
Because you are interested in accuracy, I would point out that Elon was at Tesla from the beginning. Sure, two of his co-founders registered the name "Tesla Motors" about a year before Elon joined them but, before Elon, Tesla had no business plan, no employees, no tooling or production facilities, no blueprint for a car, no money, no phone number, no customers, no nothing. It was just a registered name and two men who thought they wanted to make some electric cars.
