The Rivian Wall Charger supports 48 Amps, not 48 kW. 48 Amps at 240 Volts is 11,520 Watts, which is 11.5 kW and a far cry from 48 kW.I had a pre-order on the Rivian EVSE because it's an _amazing_ value for what you get. It's capable up to 48KW charging (somewhat future proofing) and has the app for management.
I ended up cancelling it and going with a Clipper Creek HCS-50 because my wife's Volvo XC40 Recharge came in sooner than we expected and we needed an EVSE _right now_. The HCS-50 is the same one Rivian is using at the service centers so I felt confident in it for my own at-home use.
ClipperCreek makes quality gear and has excellent customer service if it is ever needed.
