Projected Rivian charging station (RAN) locations in California

[SANZC02]

One within a few miles of my house and I am covered going north, now just need to see what there is between Santa Barbara and Disney and I will have full wife approval.

Plenty of J1772 chargers already between Santa Barbara and Disney so go get that thumbs up form the wife...

Yeah, but she's spoiled with proprietary charging and we are still a bit uncertain about EA. But seriously, I have no worries that we'll be able to go where we want to with the R1Ts, but it is nice to see where they are planning on putting the chargers.

Dang, there's going to be a RAN, EA, and Supercharger install at the outlets in Pismo. That place is going to be hopping.

I was hoping it would be further down by the dunes, but still fine. Hopefully they don't put them right next to the others too

Here are some locations I know of for charger locations that are pending jobs.

Are you certain that these are all Rivian? Is it possible that some of these are from non-Rivian charging providers?

Please Rivian, Susanville, this would fill such a huge gap for me. Next is highway 95 between winnemucca and boise.

I've been after Electrify America to add a charger there for the last couple of years. Alturas too.

Yes these are all rivian locations. This list is definitely the majority are
north bay and north coast area. they could just be the easier options right now. Most of the time it takes a year or two to get into low capacity areas bevause of the work needed to upgrade the grid.

I'll check near here.

I'll check near the dunes if there is anything.

Looks like Yosemite will be covered, now we need Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Without a charger somewhere in the park, the trip to Cedar Grove will be rough.

I'll look near these. For some reason I remember seeing something close but like others have said it could be SCE but there are more utility companies in California and near nevada/Arizona borders.

That's a ridiculous amount of proprietary charging density in the North Bay, if this is accurate. Corte Madera, Stinson Beach, Muir Beach, Sausalito are all easily covered by existing charging networks, or even a single Rivian location.

My understanding of the Rivian Adventure Network was that it would be providing last mile capacity to existing networks, enabling travel deep into National Forest and BLM areas especially when pulling a trailer. These don't seem to be in line with that mission.

That said, I have always welcomed more charging locations, even when they don't make immediate sense to me. If this is indeed accurate, it's possible it will allow Rivian to more easily access and monitor how their chargers are used and serviced without dispatching to remote locations. Also, infrastructure is readily available in the locations listed. Tesla has chargers in most of these areas already.

The map they released had locations everywhere. I wouldn't be too worried the remote locations could prove difficult as 4 of the largest chargers is ~1MVA of load so it can take some time to upgrade existing infrastructure.

Yes, I just know that some of those sites have recently had utilities work due to site upgrades, so I guess it really depends on your source for these job listings. If they're from Rivian, then they should definitely be Rivian sites.

Thanks for doing this!

A good number of these seem to be ideal spots for Rivian Waypoint AC chargers, not the Rivian Adventure Network DC chargers. Looking at the ones in SF and Marin, most are near points of interest, not major freeway interchanges.

None listed in Chico? Gateway to the Northern Sierra?
