FWIW: I'm in the process of testing this version for these guys. I *will* report back with results.
The crew at Best EV Mod have been paying close attention.

I do apologize to the community for being a tad late on this--the team at BestEVMod and I have been talking about this since my initial writeup of HEPA filter performance.

I've just been delayed due to the holidays, and now the ongoing weather here in the NorthEast, which has kept myself and my Applications Engineer out of the office; notwithstanding getting access to our equipment for 'off-books' testing isn't very straightforward. Customers sort of come first ;)

I'll probably buy this filter early, as my current ones are good, but occasionally let smells in. I am possibly expecting too much, dunno. So I really look forward to the test data.

I've just gone through this with my 3D printer so I can run toxic materials in a partially vented space safely. There is SO MUCH BULLSHIT about filters out there. Which is why the tests have huge value. For the Rivian, it's a minor health issue, but not zero. For people doing dangerous things it's quite deadly, but filter vendors are happy to lie in both cases.

I purchased a BestEvMod filter last July and haven't installed it yet. I assume their modifications to the design was in part due to poor testing performance of the previous version. Seems like they should do something for their previous customers (ie discount on new purchase). Regardless, I won't be using their filter purchased last summer and am eagerly awaiting your testing. Thanks for this data!

For a pavement princess in SoCal (minimal exposure to the fires); how often should I be looking into changing the filters?

I was wondering what happened to the idea of testing those, maybe greedy corporations were gonna make it look like an accident ;) lol Jk.

I did buy their old version last year, and it kinda sucked. Went back to OEM in less than a month.

Curious about your testings. Thanks in advance.

Gen 1 only? Is the filter different for Gen 2?

I think OEM recommends once a year, ymmv

I would replace it after being exposed heavy fire smoke, that stuff is really bad for your lungs:/

I’ve had the current filter of theirs installed and it’s fine and does a good job. I’m about to change since it’s been a year.

Hey Rivian Forums,

I finally got around to testing these filters.

Results are here.

For those who don't want to nerd out on that thread, I'm happy to report these are performing well :)

Thank you to Joe for testing our H14 air filter for us.

Based on Joe's previous tests and our subsequent testing, we discovered that a certain batch of our original H13 air filters may not meet the initial expected filtration efficiency. Therefore, we kindly ask all customers who purchased the older version air filter to provide us with your order ID and address. We will send a new H14 air filter to all customers who bought the older version.

For privacy reasons, we do not have access to buyers' delivery information, so please send us a private message, and we will ship the new H14 air filter as soon as possible.

For more details, please see BestEvMod - Important Announcement: Recall of Old Version Air Filters
