My R1T was down to 34%, so decided to give DC fast charging a shot to see what my results would be. There is a new EA station that was put up near me, only 150 kw stations though. One thing to note is that the Rivian navigation does not have it listed, even though its been operational for about 4 months. It was 97 degrees outside, and 3/4 stations were occupied. I used the method I learned from Out of Spec, I used the EA app to activate the charger first, then plugged in. Took roughly 10 seconds for payment to be approved, then 15 seconds after I plugged in for charging to start. Charging started at 146 KW, eventually reached 150 kW at 49%. I only charged to 57%, which took 15 minutes. Max charge speed I saw was 153 kW.
So overall, pretty easy charging experience. There is a cell tower a few blocks away, so the EA stations likely had a strong signal. It at least makes me more comfortable that even at a 150 kw station, in the heat, it charged at a decent rate.
