Rivian Charging Infrastructure

powersurge

I've been considering getting a Rivian, and I'm curious about the current state of charging infrastructure for these vehicles. I know Rivian has its Adventure Network, but can anyone share their experiences with it? How widespread is it currently, and what’s the typical charging speed? Also, how do Rivian owners find using third-party charging stations in terms of compatibility and reliability? Any tips on planning long road trips with a Rivian would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The Rivian Adventure Network is still expanding, but many users find it effective in popular outdoor and adventure areas. It offers DC fast charging with speeds up to 200 kW. For third-party stations, Rivians use a standard CCS plug, so compatibility is generally good. Reliability can vary, so using apps like PlugShare to check station status beforehand helps. For long trips, it's wise to plan routes with charging stops in mind and consider using networks like Electrify America for additional coverage.

I've heard good things about the Rivian Adventure Network expanding in key areas. It’s best to use apps like PlugShare to plan and ensure reliable stops, especially when relying on third-party stations for long trips.
