Washington State EV Flex...no Rivian

[C.R. Rivian]

PSE | Flex EV does not have a path for enrolling a Rivian. There is a step-by-step guide to getting a Tesla to talk to the PSE network and apparently some EVs are pretty easy to enroll. Maybe I'll post to RJ's X account (still think of it as Twitter) with a question about this.

Wondering if anyone has had any communication with PSE or other utilities about this sort of thing.

BTW: I do have a level 2 charger, but it's a 2019 Clipper Creek and does a great job with both or our EVs...doesn't do internet though and seems unecological to replace it just to take advantage of current charger rebates and programs like this.

Curious...

I don't think we got any sort of communication from PSE on this program, at least none that I can remember. Bummer they don't have support for Rivian. Wonder what's required to do all of it. Maybe I'll reach out to them too.

It supports Rivian, all EV brands actually, try enrolling, you can pick Rivian

the main thing is not enrolling your vehicle, just enroll your home charger.

Ahh Thanks. Dug further into the enrollment process than just at the first intro page on PSE. Does look possible.

I have an older charger [2019 Clipper Creek], that one is not supported. Did get in via my 2019 Kia Niro EV. So, am good.

I got in on the PSE TOU pilot, It's saving us like $20/month. But we missed the Super Offpeak enrollment, that had like $.04/kWh 12am-7am!

We've got a ChargePoint so I'm going to give this Flex EV a go, data privacy be damned.

It says, "you'll earn $0.50 for every kilowatt-hour of electricity saved during Flex events."

How does it know how much energy I would've used?

Curious what PSE charges for peak?

This is Super Off Peak, schedule 327

This is what I was able to get, schedule 307

Peak is higher than I thought it would be. Hopefully SCL doesn't do the same
