I don’t think a RAN charger in Boulder makes any business sense for Rivian. But one somewhere down by Colorado Springs and then one strategically placed south of Pueblo would be great. I-25 south of Denver is pretty bare.

Having said that, I’m honestly not sure if that makes business sense with other high scored chargers already along the southern Colorado I-25 corridor.
I believe they just got approval for a RAN in Walsenburg. Funding from CO NEVI money.

I am down in Littleton and up in Alma, we are a pretty common sight now
Nice to hear of another Alma Rivian. We live in Golden but have a cabin on the Windy Ridge Road (county road 787) where we spend quite a bit of time. Snowshoe in about 6 months of the year. A great vehicle for up there.

We are just south of you, off of 12 (Mesquito Pass Rd) and Adventure Rd. It’s nice to finally see the sun out!

It’s a good spot for charging. Good for the economy in those small towns too.

What’s the latest and greatest on tire changing facilities in the Boulder/Jeffco area? Anyone had issues with the Discount Tires, Big-O, etc? Or better yet, anyone had a fantastic experience at a specific shop? Thanks!

I had my Toyo tires done by Discount Tire on 28th in Boulder. Zero issues. The most challenging part of that store if finding parking because they are often busy.

I got the Toyo Open Country AT III’s for EVs. Two other @Discount Tire stores told me they couldn’t get them. The fella in Boulder went the extra mile and called the manufacturer. He had them a week later and they were installed without issue.

@Discount Tire I just checked the website and didn’t find these tires there. Y’all should get them entered. They’re damn good on Rivians.
