so the Rivian charger will probably be a 48amp ?

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/
Every Rivian comes with a 32A portable charging cable. The hardwired Rivian EVSE, which will be sold as an optional accessory, will be a max of 48A.so the Rivian charger will probably be a 48amp ?
I just think it's a good standard for a non Tesla. Also not sure you know how much charge you may use 'adventuring' in an EV, but you will possibly want to charge to 100% in those cases. Obviously a lot of this relies on information we simply don't know yet. It's okay for me to be interested and critical. After all, nothing we're saying here likely matters in the end, it's just a statement of my standards moving forward.I have to ask. You seem to be pretty enamored with the Taycan. Why aren't you buying one of those?
I was not judging. I was just curious based upon your Taycan comments. The Taycan is a solid car. If I was in the market for a sedan, it would probably be at the top of my list.I just think it's a good standard for a non Tesla.

I asked CS today. The Rivian wall charger needs a 60 amp circuit and will charge at 48 amps delivering 11.5 kw per hour.so the Rivian charger will probably be a 48amp ?
You are forgetting to factor in charging losses. Only ~90% of the 11.5 kW makes it into the battery. Closer to 400 watts/mile by that method. And they have stated the large pack will be "a little smaller than 135 kW". No indication if that is nominal or useable energy.Interesting that when they say 26 miles an hour charge Rate that is 442 watts per mile They are using for their calculation. That puts a 135kw battery pack at 305 miles. That is right in between what I heard the R1T was 300 and R1S was 310 in the projections.
Thanks for clarifying.That is true, the difference is it was tied to the original owner and not the car. Pre 2017 it is tied to the car so when you sell the 2012-2016 cars, new owner gets that benefit as well.
They also had some incentive programs where they were doing 400KW a year free and charging after to facilitate at least a portion of a road trip.
You likely already have 50amp breakers in your breaker box for a dryer, AC and potentially an electric range. The question is do you have room and enough rated service power coming into the box to add another 50 amp or 60 amp breaker and associated load. Youād likely want to have an electrician check that for you.This will be my first electric vehicle so pardon my ignorance/confusion but question for you guys... I was looking at the Chargepoint Flex vs the Rivian charger and charge point offers it as low as 16 AMP all the way up to 50 amps. What is the Rivian supposed to be and can a common electrical panel even support something as high as 50?
I am very interested to see what I get in the R1S, I average 324 w/mi in a Model S so would be stoked if I can get 400 w/mi in the R1S. Maybe if I buy some lighter shoes....You are forgetting to factor in charging losses. Only ~90% of the 11.5 kW makes it into the battery. Closer to 400 watts/mile by that method.

They publish charging speeds for two different chargers. They do not specify which vehicle these are for, nor do they give specifics on the wheel configuration, which can have an impact on range.I asked CS today.

That same charger would do a Tesla Model S at about 39 miles an hour.
Man, Moving forward, I hope to learn even a fraction of what you guys know about these charging rates, capabilities and the do's and dont's around this subject! The last math lesson I remember was that "Five out of four people suck at fractions." Well, I guess I know which 30% I'm in. ?They publish charging speeds for two different chargers.

The mobile charger provides 7.68kW of power and adds 16 miles per hour of range.
You have to deduct a percentage of that power that is lost during the charging process in order to come to the power available to add range. In this case I use a charging loss of 8% and 10%.
At a 10% charging inefficiency loss, you have 6,912 watts available to add range. Their spec indicates this would add 16 miles of range (with rounding this could be 15.51 to 16.49):
432Wh/mile - with rounding this could be between (419 to 446Wh/mile)
At an 8% charging inefficiency loss, you have 7,066 watts available to add range. Their spec indicates this would add 16 miles of range (with rounding this could be 15.51 to 16.49):
442Wh/mile - with rounding this could be between (428 to 456Wh/mile)
The hard wired charger provides 11.5kW of power and adds 25 miles per hour of range.
At a 10% charging inefficiency loss, you have 10,350 watts available to add range. Their spec indicates this would add 25 miles of range (with rounding this could be 24.51 to 25.49):
414Wh/mile - with rounding this could be between (406 to 422Wh/mile)
At an 8% charging inefficiency loss, you have 10,580 watts available to add range. Their spec indicates this would add 25 miles of range (with rounding this could be 24.51 to 25.49):
423Wh/mile - with rounding this could be between (415 to 432Wh/mile)
This at those scenarios:
432Wh/mile - with rounding this could be between (419 to 446Wh/mile)
442Wh/mile - with rounding this could be between (428 to 456Wh/mile)
414Wh/mile - with rounding this could be between (406 to 422Wh/mile)
423Wh/mile - with rounding this could be between (415 to 432Wh/mile)
The average of these comes to 428Wh/mile or between (417 to 439Wh/mile)
Based upon available data, that is my best guess.
Yes, you can do that. You don't want to charge up to 100% regularly, but you should be able to configure either your EVSE or your R1 to "stop" at a safe limit (could be 80%-95%, depending on what Rivian says).Can I just drive my R1T and plug it in when itās down to 20-30%, letting it charge overnight?
If an EV aināt that simple, adoption is still a LONG ways away.
Yup.Can I just drive my R1T and plug it in when itās down to 20-30%, letting it charge overnight?

ok - I'll bite.... what is the color coding for? I'm gonna need a legend....
Yes. Legend please.Got bored but safe to say it's about 600 (436 marked)
