I think Brice nailed it - Electrify America is super inconsistent. Some days you get amazing speeds, some days you don't. As long as a person understands that, road tripping in a Rivian will be a delight. Also, hitting 80% in a certain amount of time will vary depending on the battery pack size. One person's 20% to 80% in 30 minutes will be another persons 20% to 80% in 40 or 45 minutes.
Here is a good example of Electrify America working as designed. Yesterday in Trinidad, Colorado I had a great charging session for my Taycan while on my road trip to PHX. Check out the results:
It will certainly not be every day a vehicle will charge 65kWh in 20 minutes, even for a Taycan.
The key to successful road tripping in an EV is patience, and keeping options open!
P.S. Not even the two fastest charging vehicles on the market today - my Porsche Taycan included - will hold charging speeds up to 180kW up to 80%, so that will not happen with a Rivian currently.
