Looking forward to your trip report as we’ll be there next summer. Hopefully by then we can use the Sturgeon bay super chargers

I’m originally from Green Bay and was looking at a 1,300 mile road trip up to my brothers lake house near Townsend. I was kind of shocked to see so few DCFC in WI. I did see EA is working on one in Green Bay which EA told me mid to late fall before it opens.

Yhat EA charger in Green Bay has been built for months but not turned on. It’s really frustrating.

Made it to Washington Island with 30% left. Did a lot of drafting behind a caravan from Switzerland that was going 60 MPH. Ideal situation low speed big box to move air. This allowed me to get 2.13,Kw average, speed was the key I could draft semis at like 75 but consumption would be under 2. At 60 I could keep it above 2. Drafting at 60mph like 2.3.
Pretty surprising with 4 large adults tons of cargo and 4 bikes flapping in the breeze.
This truck is amazing.
I will take a pic of the trip computer in the morning.
She is charging peacefully right now.

I spoke with some guys doing an install and start up at a Circle K Chargers…they said the red tape is crazy. The RAN in Charlotte, NC I think tool almost a year.

We're finishing up a trip to eastern Montana, a DC desert, and will say that RV parks are the hidden gem in any desert. They all have 50amp plugs and are willing to let you plug in after a little schmoozing or if your in-laws/friends are staying there. Some (reasonably) ask for a fee, and you should offer up front, but it's the best thing to do while you adventure the area by foot or bike or just zonk out.

I think you can fit 3 more bikes on there and a cooler

I was thinking the same thing!

Awesome photos and will watch this thread with anticipation to see how your trip goes. This is what the Rivian was built for so I hope you and your family have a wonderful trip and I'll be living vicariously through your photos while I await my Power Tonneau Covered R1T to be available.

Power Tonneau Cover or bust!
