Chrgeway Now available on Apple CarPlay

this sounds great. I will definitely be getting it. Now if Rivian only had CarPlay...

Maybe an OTA update in a few years?

Very cool, but some EVs (Tesla and Rivian in particular) don't have CarPlay .

I didn't realize that Rivian doesn't come with CarPlay.. don't know why and haven't looked at what they are using, but will now.

Yeah, this is a real can-of-worms on this forum. Some people believe that adding CarPlay & AA will somehow remove functionality for them, and therefore are vehemently against it, even though it's effectively just an additional app for the UI to show.

At any rate, Rivian has their own proprietary navigation system, which can take into account the vehicles current range & driving modes, and route you through a handful of charging networks. The little reviewing we've had says it's OK, but makes some really dumb suggestions at times, which is probably not much different than my Tesla.
