How many different RAN Stations have you visited?

SANZC02 · Nov 20, 2024

I did a trip a couple of months ago and had the opportunity to visit 16 different RAN station. For all but 4 I was the only person there, made me wonder how many people are visiting these stations. Certainly an opportunity for Rivian to get more use once opened to other vehicles brands.

I used RANs whenever they were available and all of them worked great, wish the were more available for me. My other 31 charges on that trip were split between EA, Tesla, ChargePoint, and Englix.

Here is my list of the 16 locations

RAN - Barstow, CA
RAN - Las Vegas, NV
RAN - Granger, IN
RAN - Maumee, OH
RAN - Strongsville, OH
RAN - Newburgh, NY
RAN - East Greenwich, RI
RAN - Belcamp, MD
RAN - Henderson, NC
RAN - Charlotte, NC
RAN - Greenville, SC
RAN - Atlanta, GA
RAN - Slidell, LA
RAN - San Antonio, TX
RAN - Gila Bend, AZ
RAN - Quartzite, AZ

Ha! That's pretty cool. My list is 3. Las Vegas, which I love because of that amazing mall. Barstow, and Grand Junction.

Ukiah, Fortuna, Crescent City, Klamath, Sacramento, Truckee, Manteca, Santa Nella, Marin, Buttonwillow

They have all been pretty much flawless except one very hot day when the truckee location was derated to 99kw.

Truckee has consistently been the busiest, followed by Manteca.

You should add 0 to the list. The closest RAN charger to me is like 700 miles away

Just 1: Lincoln City, OR.
I think I've only DC charged 4 times at most. The only "road trip" I do is between Keizer, OR and Shoreline, WA where my son lives. I can do that drive without stopping to charge if I start at 100% when I leave home.

I'm just shy of 20 RAN Locations, mostly from East of DFW to Maine & everyone in between.

I post a pick of Tarkus at each one I charge at in the PlugShare app as I'm charging (when I remember to...).

With over 500 Charges (per TeslaFi software), I visit a lot of different chargers.

Only wish Rivian would add a button ("Add Charge Station" to their app), but it's just a wish, as I find a lot of new charge stations & a few under construction (not even on PlugShare yet)...

From TeslaFi software:

I've been to two very empty ones, and one that was over 50% in use. I've found that Superchargers tend to be in more desirable locations with things to do, so I don't always favor the RAN, even though they are usually much cheaper.

iamnid · Nov 21, 2024

I've been to one but, after tomorrow, it will be three.

I've been to San Bernardino. I saw two other Rivians during my time there. One left shortly after I arrived and another arrived after me. Charging speed maxed out at about 175kW (could be due to my state of charge etc.)

Tomorrow I'm going to Quartzite and Sedona.

B1uey · Nov 21, 2024

I've been to 5:

Gila Bend, AZ
Quartzsite, AZ
Kingman, AZ

RivianMatt · Nov 21, 2024

I've been to seven: 1) Corte Madera, CA: numerous times, sometimes busy, sometimes not; 2) Ukiah, CA - once, and I was the only one there; 3) Mt. Shasta, CA - twice, busy both times; 4) Roseburg, OR - twice, of which one time I had to wait a few minutes and the other time I was the only one there; 5) Happy Valley, OR - very busy the one time I was there; 6) Manteca, CA - once, and there was one other person there in addition to me; 7) Groveland, CA - once, and there were several people there.

Hope to hit Lee Vining, CA this ski season to get to double digits.
Maybe Truckee if I get ambitious. Joshua Tree would be nice, though the Tesla chargers worked great on last camping trip.
