Hi,
Just got my R1T (suddenly) a few days ago without much time to prepare. This is my first EV, and I’m still in the steep part of the learning curve… I have an old house with not much power and I am planning to move in six months, so I don’t want to invest too much in electric upgrades. I do have a Nema 6-50 outlet in the garage that is open. The circuit is on a 30amp breaker.
I’ve searched this site, and others, without feeling confident in any solutions for my situation. My current idea is to get a 6-50 to 14-50 adapter and then use the supplied Rivian portable charger, while setting the max charging amps in the R1T to something less than 30. Any other ideas? Are there any smart chargers on the market (I can’t find any) that can be programmed to charge during off-peak hours, and also set an amp limit?
Thanks for any help
