It appears that Rivian has decided to implement their patent (https://pdfaiw.uspto.gov/.aiw?PageN....%2526OS=DN/20190126761%2526RS=DN/20190126761) to split 800+V (900? 920?) CCS and treat the HV pack as two separate packs. They will be in series when charging at a DCFC capable of providing 800+ volts, and in parallel during "normal" charging and during use.
R.J., in two separate statements says "up to 300 kW" and "max 300". Previous speculation has been 160 kW as the max.
Good news for those looking for the fastest charging as most Electrify America locations (at least near freeways) have 350 kW units.
This does bring up the question of pack voltage. I'm speculating a 108s (216s for high voltage charging) arrangement with 390V nominal (Audi, Jaguar) as opposed to the 96s 350V configuration (GM, Tesla, etc). As a note, the "800V" Taycan uses a 198s configuration with a nominal voltage of 723.
