Rivian RAN chargers - Delaware i95

[FirstStateR1T]

I was talking to the Tesla store manager at my local mall, Christiana Mall. He said that the recent install of a transformer and rough in was indeed a RAN charger, 6 units with a max of 12. I reached out to the account on twitter that tracks them all to do some leg work since I could not find any permitting.

UPDATE: As of this morning on my commute I was able to see what appears to be the chargers installed, but bagged up. I will take a detour and report back once I know more!

Chargers at Christiana mall would be helpful. I am hoping they add something further south towards the middle of the Delmarva Peninsula though, there doesn't seem to be much available on most maps.

I would be surprised if Rivian put RANs in. More fast charging coming. 14 sites. I am a bit skeptical because "fast" isn't defined here. https://news.delaware.gov/2023/01/25/dnrec-funds-new-electric-vehicle-fast-charging-stations/

FWIW, the original RAN plan showed sites in Dover and Georgetown.

On the large RAN thread here someone posted photos (last week, last page of the thread as of this writing) of RANS in the Christina Mall Parking Lot mounted with bags over them. Seems they are likely to come online very soon (I'm hoping extremely soon because I have a road trip from NoVA to NH planned for a week from tomorrow)

Yeah, I'm saying that will likely be it for RAN but Delaware looks to be adding more "fast" chargers across other providers which will be good. Right now we look to book vacation houses in Bethany with EV chargers installed to ensure we can get to 100% before driving home.

That was me, I pass it daily and will update once I see them uncovered or Rivian themselves gets back to me with a date.

I won't care who installs new chargers on the Delmarva Peninsula as long as someone does, and they are maintained. I though I read that Royal Farms was trying to work with a well known brand to get them installed at some of their stations.

Royal Farms has 50kw chargers in Smyrna and Milford but they are CHAdeMO.

I drove by the Chrstiana Mall Monday. The chargers, near Nordstrom and Cabela's but adjacent to the loop road, are still bagged. No branding anywhere that I could see.

No Branding? There are Rivian RAN plaques and if you unzip the bag and peak they are RIVIAN chargers, lol... Hope we get these [S=0===0=N]

No branding was visible on the chargers from inside my truck. I didn't get out and undress them, lol.
