Rivian announced a new partnership with Under Canvas to bring EV charging to some of the most beautiful campgrounds in the US.
Since the beginning, Rivian has been marketing its electric vehicles as “adventure vehicles”. They made an electric pickup truck that is good enough to do anything a gas-powered pickup can do and more, so it made sense to emphasize that with putting the vehicles in adventure scenarios.
One challenge in making that a reality is deploying charging infrastructure where the adventures are, which are – more often than not – in remote areas.
Rivian announced several charging networks to address that challenge: Rivian Waypoints and Rivian Adventure Network.
Under Rivian Waypoints, it is now partnering with Under Canvas to deploy charging stations directly at camp sites:
Here are a few pictures of the chargers deployed at the Moab location:
May Lilley, Chief Marketing Officer of Under Canvas, commented on the partnership:
Trent Warnke, Senior Director of Energy and Charging Solutions at Rivian, commented on the partnership:
For people familiar with Tesla’s charging infrastructure, it is the equivalent of Tesla’s Destination Charging network, which is primarily available at hotels.

While they are starting with these two sites, they plan to expand to more in the future.

Like all charge points in the Rivian Waypoint network, the stations being deployed are level two stations, meant primarily for overnight charging.
