"Silent electric vehicle"??? Rivian has blown that with the stupid PWS. Yes, I know it's mandated on public roads but not "out in nature" ie Off-Road mode.

Is Rivian doing a partnership with iKamper?

NO, that is Ryan Reel's truck and when he did the stealth wrap he debadged the tailgate and put it on the iKamper himself.
Ah, thought it looked a bit weird haha. Thanks!

One thing I JUST noticed in the press release :

The site also hosts four “Level 2” Rivian Waypoints chargers, which are available for use by any EV – not just Rivian vehicles – through the Rivian smartphone app.

So to use the Waypoint chargers with a non-Rivian, a user needs to utilize the Rivian app? Which I presume means registering. I guess its a good way to capture customer data while giving away free electrons!

Thanks @OutofSpecKyle. All the nerdy details I could have hoped for.

Love the seamless plug and charge.

I wonder if they will integrate storage for peak shaving at future sites. Can be very helpful from an operational expense perspective as EA and Tesla have learned.

Noticed the mention of the "leaving the seatbelt buckled" hack while we wait for pet mode. A good idea.

I think you can just plug in to them without and registration.

Educated guess.

@OutofSpecKyle - is this essentially Rivian's version of the Tesla Superchargers? Like, the best of the best chargers for the Rivian's?

Hope they open the Kettleman City one soon, good midpoint between Bay Area and Southern California.

That would be a great one, just off I5. I really hope they plan something for 101 as well. I’m one of those weird people that would much prefer 101 over I5 even if it means an extra hour to Orange County from SF.

Not Kyle, but yes.

Rivian Adventure Network = Tesla Supercharger = DC Fast Charging

Rivian Waypoints = Tesla Destination Chargers = AC Level 2 charging
