How do you program charging on existing setups? Is it from the app for the car, or the charger, or both? My SolarEdge charger has two options - the "smart charger" that comes with an app to monitor, schedule, and manage charging or you can get the much cheaper "dumb charger" but you can still monitor EV charging output from the app. I assume the Rivian app will allow one to monitor charging also, but does it allow you to control and schedule the charging? Or does it just shut off when it gets to a pre-set maximum charge?
Here's to hoping there is some sort of standard or expectation that either the car or the charger is in charge, or they'll somehow communicate but I'm doubtful about that.
Also hoping one day that as we become more dependent on renewable energy, these massive EV batteries can also act as a grid reservoir and home back-up battery. We would need battery technology to be mature enough to allow additional cycling without significantly harming longevity.
