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/
I may have missed a component on your list, but if you're using the Rivian mobile EVSE, 32 amps is the max.
You are correct, I had double stated there, updated
TY!I had previously mentioned an extension cord I bought and some adapters for when we travel to vacation homes and Airbnbs. Others had asked me details of exactly what I got both here and on Facebook and I just added an adapter for level 2 Tesla chargers so I thought I would put a full list of everything I have in my "kit" here with some photos.
I went for the 80% solution here (the only limitation is being able to charge at full rate at a 14-50 outlet from 68ft away) as we don't get to drive in campgrounds much and are trying to have the ability to charge at a remote ski house, beach house, or relative's house. It is important to me that it is compact and stores well. All of these will easily be stored in the spare tire well for our R1S. It won't fit with the spare tire in there, it probably would if I wound the cords around the tire, but I like them in the bags. We leave these at home most of the time unless we are going on a road trip to a vacation home destination.
Note when charging with any of these components you need to follow the 80% rule (24 amps on dyer outlets) to make sure you are no overloading house wiring and breakers, especially with unknown houses you might be staying at. You can change the amps draw in the Rivian Energy screen. (Lower right of this picture, check it every time as it will sometimes reset from other charging sessions)
The following kit allows us to plug into...
within 70 ft of the R1S. It also allows us to plug into...
- A 10-30 (old standard pre-1998) dryer outlet and charge at 24 amps for safety
- 14-30 (new standard since 1998) dryer outlet and charge at 24 amps for safety
...within 18 ft of the R1S (most of this is stock Rivian components)
- a level two Tesla charger and charge at 40 amps
- 14-50 outlet and charge at auto-selected amps
- 120v outlet at auto-selected amps
The kit (opened up):
The kit packed up:
The components:
- The stock Rivian mobile charger
- The stock Rivian mobile charger 14-50 adapter
- The stock Rivian mobile charger 120 v adapter
- The stock Rivian mobile charger bag that holds the Rivian Mobile Charger, the stock 14-50 and 120v mobile charger plugs and the tesla J1772 to Tesla adapter
- A 50 ft gear IT 14-30 extension cord with 14-30 plug. I chose this because it is considerably lighter than a 14-50 cord and still serves my main purpose which is being able to charge off of dryer outlets at vacation homes which nearly everyone has. I was willing to trade the weight savings for the limited ability of not charging at a 14-50 outlet with the cord with full amps. The corn stays nice and pliable even in cold weather and I can reach even second and third story laundry rooms at most house rentals if needed when combined with the Rivian Mobile Charger length
- GearIT Tesla to J 1772 adapter. I was so happy with the price and performance of the extension cord I was pretty glad to see them come out just recently with this adapter under the same brand for a good price. I was also happy to see it was ETL certified given some of the other adapters on the market have stories of melting down or having other problems. Used anytime I want to plug the Rivian into a Tesla Level 2 destination charger (available at a lot of AirBNBs)
- A circle cord brand 14-30p adapter that converts the long extension cord to 14-50. Used anytime you want to use the extension cord with the Rivian Mobile Charger
- A 10-30 to 14-30 adapter that converts "4 prong to 3 prong" or the post-1998 4 prong dryer outlet standard to the pre-1998 3 prong dryer outlet standard in case we stay at an old home that has not updated their dryer outlet. Note the weird wire with the single prong on it. It gets plugged into a ground, you can plug it into any ground (like the third hole on a 110 outlet)
- A jumper cable bag that holds the extension cord and 14-30 adapters with zip closure.
Back in the days when Tesla chargers were scarce I found a 6-15 adapter useful.I had previously mentioned an extension cord I bought and some adapters for when we travel to vacation homes and Airbnbs.

I have a similar setup, but I carry a 50Amp extension instead of the 30Amp one and TT-30P adapter. Probably heavier and bulkier than yours.I had previously mentioned an extension cord I bought and some adapters for when we travel to vacation homes and Airbnbs. Others had asked me details of exactly what I got both here and on Facebook and I just added an adapter for level 2 Tesla chargers so I thought I would put a full list of everything I have in my "kit" here with some photos.

No. The adapters for the superchargers are different than those for level 2 charging (the most obvious difference being that the supercharger adapter will connect to the DC charger pins on the Rivian)
Good to know. Thank you!
I'm with you, I have AirBnbs and in my rental agreement I have that they need to obtain prior permission from me before attempting to charge EVs. You really don't want to risk your entire home or melted wiring based on the EV owner making sure they know how to limit the draw to 80% of the breaker and are willing to do so. That's a no win risk on the part of the owner. Not to mention you will have to leave a door or window cracked somewhere to get the line from a dryer outlet to the EV.
Yea, I can see that argument that any amenities are for consumption on site only. Personally, I wouldn't mind paying for the added electricity and if anyone had an issue with me charging I would gladly venmo or throw $20 on the counter for the charging.
Being a Rivian owner myself, I do wish there were convenient charging opportunities everywhere I go but the key here is Permission. You owe it to the owner to ask. Assuming you can just bring the tools to enable yourself to take electricity home with you in your battery or to use it for day trips during your stay is entitled and honestly theft.
This community is simply unbelievable. Thanks for not only solving the problem, but sharing the solution so we don't have to recreate it on our own. Bottom line, you're appreciated!I had previously mentioned an extension cord I bought and some adapters for when we travel to vacation homes and Airbnbs.
