I saw this earlier. Anyone recognize the charger design? This story set off my BS detector when I read it… Why was the CT at a “bad” 3rd party charger?

They are at a Tesla Supercharger. You can see part of the stall on the right side of the photo. I wonder if Rivian owner thought they could charge at a Tesla SC (that did not have Magic Dock) and ended up getting stranded there.

I was wondering if that was the case. Although the article leads the reader in a different direction...

Electrek's stories have always been driven partly by a person, and partly by a jump to conclusions mat.

All joking aside.. would be nice if our vehicles had a 240V outlet(s).

I would be happy if a beefy DC to AC inverter existed that could plug into the charging port (with a NEMA14-50 outlet, and higher current 120V outlets)
