Truckee CA Rivian Charging Station Now Open

[jjswan33]

Is this based on this forum delivery records?

You wouldn't be surprised if I say vast majority of Rivian owners (>90%) are NOT members of this forum, right?

I see Rivians, both Ts and Ss, just about every time driving on freeways in SoCal....

Yes, the forum R1T poll. >500 entries. That would be ~3% of R1T deliveries to date.

I also see Rivians in Portland and Seattle frequently. Even in my small town outside of Portland near Mt Hood I see them frequently. I also saw them when I was in Cali a couple weeks ago

It’s honestly getting real old to see these only opening in California, other than ONE station.

I live in Reno and am happy so many chargers are out west but it seems unreasonable to concentrate so heavily in California at the expense of other states. We're all in this together.

what's the max charging speed you got?

249 miles/hr, but I was nearly at 70% and slowing down. I took a screen shot during charging.

There is a huge need for a fast charger in mammoth. My daughter races at Mammoth too but I chose to take my big truck down because we took the trailer. I would have taken the Rivian if there was a fast charger.

Do you drive the black Rivian? I've seen one at a few of the North Nevada NICA races.

I do, our kids were on the N Tahoe team, what team is your daughter on?

50 KW max at the chargers that are grouped together.
The charger for the trailers is putting out 188kw.

Nobody else charging.

My understanding is that each cabinet can deliver 200KW, and that power is shared between 2 stalls

Hoping to get some in the Northeast. There are no fast chargers in Northern Vermont except Tesla's. Most of the places I ski don't have charge points along the way. Some mountains have Tesla destination chargers so I bought an adapter. I just put in an order for a AWD van. Traveling in non-Tesla EV's has a long way to go in my region.

I used the chargers Sunday and speed was fine. I got over 200kw and it acted normally. The 2nd charger from left was unavailable. That might of been the one doing 50. I used the very first charger.

One charger was lit in red last night. So probably malfunctioning

This doesn't sound good. I was hoping the Rivian network of chargers would be more reliable and quicker. What's the point of having your own charging network if it doesn't deliver as promised or something better than the other guy.

The route of my most common road trip only has 25-50 kw dc chargers.

I’d typically drive all the way up to lillooet bc, then top up the kona. Which usually took about 45min to an hour. I would usually be about 30% or so when I got there.

I’m just curious if any one has used these and how long that one will take to charge the rivian. But so far all I can find is you guys and your damn 350s, 150s, 200s lol

Thanks in advance.

CA is 40% of EV market. We often go to Truckee so I am pretty excited about this. I have been told that the coffee nearby place is pretty good.

Best coffee in all of the north shore is Java Hut in Kings Beach.

We actually recently had this come up around the office Re: EV handicap spots and interestingly, in the State of California, the EV actually wins over the handicap marking as long as you are actively charging.

Got the same result (48kW) last Saturday. No one else charging. Took an hour to go from 31% to 70%. During that time three more R1Ts came and charged at 150 to 200kW. Perhaps it's that one stall. Going back on Saturday for the Truckee meet-up. Will try a different stall.

So 200 kw isn’t fast enough?
