The only other problem you'll have is that the 12v batteries are likely dead. The rivian has a weird setup with two 12v batteries, one for each side of the car.

Edit: didn't see you already replaced them. Take some extra with you to the charger, as they aren't being charged in the car now and could go flat again.

i can’t believe you found me a dc charger in my country and i was searching for days without a result,

thank you so much this might solve the problem may all of your troubles perish as you showed me hope 🤝🥹

You know its funny but long time EV owners (I'm new) tend to be able to sniff out chargers in places you would never think to look

You nailed it you should be proud of yourself thank you!!!
I'm not certain it will actually work out, but short of direct help from Rivian, it's probably one of the better chances. I would consider trying to get the truck on a mobile wifi hotspot and if it doesn't charge, calling Rivian support when you are connected. Don't mention where you are, just that the truck battery went completely dead and it won't charge at the charger, see if they can remotely reset it.

I hope that it works! That’d be good for every Rivian owner to know. Please let us know and we need pictures of it in your country asap.
