Rivian To Open Its EV Charging Network To The Public via insideevs.com
division the Rivian Adventure Network and plans to add hundreds of additional charging points as soon as possible. Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe didn't provide a specific timeline, but he explained:
"In the United States, there's been a massive underinvestment in charging infrastructure, and realizing that, we decided to build out our own infrastructure. A year from now, the density of Rivian chargers will really help solve a lot of these core issues, and we'll see third-party networks start to build up as well."estimates that Rivian already added 12 new charging stations and 72 new charging points in the first quarter of 2023.
"In terms of independent networks, there are only a couple out there — outside of Tesla — and they're not very good." It makes a whole lot of sense for Rivian to plan to follow in Tesla's footsteps with a proprietary charging network, as well as to open it to the public. One top reason people continue to choose Tesla's EVs over the competition is the Supercharger network. What's more, once the Rivian charging network is available to all EV owners, it should be able to get much-needed funding from the US government.
Rivian's DC fast chargers are capable of delivering over 200 kW right now, though, in the future, they'll potentially deliver 300 kW or more. The company is also deploying a network of Level 2 chargers that follow suit with Tesla's Destination Chargers. They'll be available at hotels, restaurants, and various recreational areas.
