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/
Lithium Ion batteries, such as the Samsung 50G model cell that our trucks use, do not suffer from memory like Ni-Cd batteries did.I might knock mine down occasionally just to run the battery down. I heard you want to run down to 10% on occasion just to keep the battery from getting a memory. Right now I charge to 70 and plug back in daily which gets me to around 45% when I plug in. I don't go super far on a daily basis.
70% has worked well for my daily needs, so I see no need to change that.
I didn't understand why people were so insistent on having a slider, anyway.... If you need more for a trip, use 85%. Does being able to say 80% or 82% really save your battery over 85%? I don't think so.
So I don't need to worry about running it down occasionally? That's good to know.Lithium Ion batteries, such as the Samsung 50G model cell that our trucks use, do not suffer from memory like Ni-Cd batteries did.
Correct. While Li-ion batteries are "happiest" if they can stay close to 50%, keeping regular use between 20-90% is more than good enough for long-term battery health.So I don't need to worry about running it down occasionally? That's good to know.
Sure but that’s a different feature, this is for everyday charging. . Eventually I’m sure we will see departure based charging.The slider is the wrong solution, imo. A better solution would be if Rivian implemented a "finish charging before XYZ" feature. Then we could set the time we plan to begin our journey and the truck could charge up to 70% or 80% right away, but then delay finishing the charge until it the last moment.
Nice69% for obvious reasons.
Don't cry! Slider to 78 plus a seat heater on while you unplug. Problem solved.I'm upset I can't set it to 77.75%!!
