@newscoulomb3705 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing. I think that, at this point, free charging is fine for Rivian ... for now. They are limiting the DCFC to their customers, so this will let them gauge interest, measure usage, and work out any bugs when access is completely unrestricted by cost Besides which, their demand charges are going to far outweigh any amount that they could recoup by charging a fee. Long term, they are going to need to open these up to non-Rivian EVs in order to offset demand fees and start recouping expenses.

@bingerschannel6724 2 года назад

Thanks so much Kyle and family for another great video. And to be the first one to plug in that is pretty cool! If you could share more info on the location buildout of the RAN network, that would be awesome. So far the company has been pretty silent on that. I live in MN and we are at such a void of any real fast chargers at all other than one EA station in Woodbury. Not even 100 or 150 KW options. 50Kw max, and very few that are dispersed around the state to even allow to get to and from adventure destinations. It is so sad.

@Bengy22 2 года назад

Especially with how large the batteries are on the rivians 50kw isn't going to cut it when road tripping, 100 or 150kw is almost needed to enjoy the trip.

@charlesball6519 2 года назад

Now, this would be even better if Rivian's DCFC units were available for everyone. Right now, they're locked to Rivian only.

@ColinWatts 2 года назад

We drove our Mach E through the lot last month hoping Rivian had turned on and we'd just missed it. Nope, you could see the charger spots, but they were all boarded up. Glad to see they've gone live! And if you don't like the Safeway, check out the Chargepoint station on the south side of town. It's a great spot, with shaded parking, a picnic table and restaurant, etc. And they're probably a bit faster than the RAN chargers if you can't get the DCFC slot :/ .

@pjmverbruggen 2 года назад

Excellent video. Love the geeky part. Love the design of the chargers. I’m a bit dissapointed that it looks like it’s Rivian only, just like Tesla. Think this is not a great strategy to electrify everyone. I thinl it should be for everyone. Perhaps other brands have a lesser experience and/or pay more. For example Tesla overhere in Netherlands is opened for non-Tesla which is fantastic

@glenngore6609 2 года назад

Looking at their proposed charger installation map, I see an ENORMOUS black hole in the central US, nothing between i-20 and I-70 and nothing between I-25 and I-35, leaving eastern Colorado, western Kansas, western Oklahoma, and the northwest quarter of Texas totally unserved, just like they are today with the Electrify America and Tesla Supercharger networks. I find this extremely odd because this is the part of the country that is producing the vast majority of the wind power in the US.

@GreenBlueWalkthrough 2 года назад

Yeah and most of their chargers in Florida are in urban or highway locations and pretty much all have no renewable energy sorce... Like the 1 is in downtown Jax abnd we jusyt upgraded from clean coal to Natraul gas and that charger spot is roughly 50 miles from a dirt road let alone an adavnture spot other then a fort and biking.

@DLoftis227 2 года назад

I love that there lv2 stations say "Open to all electric vehicles". All EV owners are on the same "team" here, I really wish all the vehicles used the same connector and were all compatible (looking at you Tesla). As a Tesla owner myself, I am a bit annoyed that I need to buy an adapter (that as of right now does not officially exist) to charge at EA. Also wish every EV could charge at super chargers.

@chidorirasenganz 2 года назад

The best option would be for all manufacturers to use Tesla ports as they have the most EVs on the road. But that will never happen so adapterland it is

The idea is that you don't sit in the truck. You get out an explore the town. And, depending on where you're going, how much charge you have, how much you need, and what speed you're getting, you might not need anywhere near the full 84 minutes anyway.

However, the price point for an average population is a long pipe dream. Well, at least it is opening up possibilities!

@philhyde983 2 года назад

Kyle you mentioned state of charge and charging speed. Can you explain that, as it related to pack voltage?

@ScubaSteveCanada 2 года назад

State of Charge is a percentage of the battery capacity i.e. a 100 KWh battery. at 10% state of charge, only has 10 KWhs remaining. Charging speed is how many Kilo Watts are being received from the station. A Watt is Voltage X Amperage. Having the same amperage but a higher voltage allows more Kilo Watts (charging speed). Most EVs can only use up to 400 V. A handful can use 800 V which is what a 350 KWh charger can output. It's more complicated but answers your question.
