That is the unit that I currently have but if Rivian's EVSE allows V2G, then I will give/sell to my little brother, as V2G is fairly important to me in Florida especially during hurricane season.

V2G is important to me as well, so I'm holding off on buying an EVSE until I know if Rivian's offering is designed to support it (either at release or potentially with an update in the future).That is the unit that I currently have but if Rivian's EVSE allows V2G, then I will give/sell to my little brother, as V2G is fairly important to me in Florida especially during hurricane season.
Seems like you are asking for V2H, not V2G.That is the unit that I currently have but if Rivian's EVSE allows V2G, then I will give/sell to my little brother, as V2G is fairly important to me in Florida especially during hurricane season.
Ah, I'd seen V2H marketed as V2G. Thanks for the clarification & education @DucRider ! V2H is definitely my desired use case.Seems like you are asking for V2H, not V2G.
V2H will allow you to power your home from the Rivian
V2G allows your utility company to "borrow" energy from you battery to balance demand.

So how much home 'utility' can be had off a fully charged Rivian? In other words, how long could I power my fridge or furnace?Seems like you are asking for V2H, not V2G.

IF,V2H is a thing, consider this...a Tesla Powerwall is 13.5kWh of usable battery. The Rivian is between 120-135kWh(not sure how much is usable and they have stated that the size of the pack has shrunk). Possibly equal to 8+ Powerwallls.So how much home 'utility' can be had off a fully charged Rivian? In other words, how long could I power my fridge or furnace?

So much learning in this forum. LOVE it. (Perhaps I chose the correct career after a false start or two, heh)Seems like you are asking for V2H, not V2G.

Depends on your usage and what is in the circuit covered.So how much home 'utility' can be had off a fully charged Rivian? In other words, how long could I power my fridge or furnace?

And the cool part I left off...when you need to charge, you can drag your Rivian around for an hour and recharge, before you plug back in to the house....and when the power is back on...you can actually drive this whole-home battery backup system 0-60 in 3.0 seconds.IF,V2H is a thing, consider this...a Tesla Powerwall is 13.5kWh of usable battery.

That depends on the magnitude of the earthquake, but pretty fast. It doesn't typically go very far though. If I lived on a hill, I might manage to travel farther.How fast can your house go?
I asked customer service this question recently. I would like to be able to schedule my charging during the daytime using excess power from my solar panels. CS told me the rivian app would allow this. When I asked if that was possible regardless of which charger I select, she could not answer yet.-Will Rivian allow me to schedule charging for off-peak hours just using the supplied cord?
I've never seen an EV that did not allow you to schedule a charge time start. One caveat - many are like the old mechanical timers for your lights, when 10PM (or whatever) rolls around, it will initiate a charge. If you plug in the vehicle at 10:15 PM, it won't start charging until 10PM the following day.I asked customer service this question recently.
