I am disappointed that Rivian is so far behind the forecast rollout of their fast charger network, aka Level 3. On road trips unless it’s at a hotel or ski area L2 isn’t really going to cut it. They promised by a massive National presence by the end of 2023 but seem to be behind on the goal.
These EV vloggers were hopeful of Rivian and bought an R1T for a long term review. Unfortunately after multiple road-trip charging debacles and sparse L3 coverage (of any make) in parts of the population dense northeast USA they walked away unimpressed with the Rivian ownership experience for now. I can only imagine that the experience would be worse across sparsely populated expanses of the rural western US where I live.
I hope Rivian surprises me with a ton of L3 chargers in the next 12 months and a rollout close to their previously stated goal but I’m certainly not holding my breath. If not I don’t totally blame them as the pandemic supply woes have been tough on everyone.
