Ford announced yesterday that they're partnering with Electrify America for charging their EVs and it got me wondering...does this mean Rivian will partner with Electrify America as well?

It would make sense given how much Ford has invested in Rivian and that Ford is using Rivian's platform to build an EV of their own.

Would you want to see Rivian partner with Electrify America?

I hate Electrify America's business model.. Unplug within 10 minutes of charge end or pay 40 cents per minute? Pay by time, not by quantity of product received?

No thanks!

I don't really have a problem with Electrify America but you raise a valid point. Is there another provider you'd want them to partner with? because there's no way Rivian will start making its own chargers.

EV charger companies tend to still be regional. I used Blink, but they are almost exclusively level 2. At least they charge by kWh.
