Network Rivian’s Adventure Network is a fast shipping network in DC with sites in a strategic position to enable Rivian owners to go to more adventures in more places.

They stand on new charging stations near McCaka outdoor, such as Sedona, Arizona, Bouzmann, Montana, Flagstaf, Arizona, and a new charging new model in Joshua Tree National Park. “We are building our shipping network to support the venture -oriented sites,” said the CEO of RJ SCARINGE (YouTube).

Sustainability is also a major column for Rivian, and the Rivian adventure network is not an exception. “Every kilowatt hour of delivery of our charging devices is identical to renewable resources such as solar energy and wind, on an annual basis,” said Rivian. It is great to see Rivian puts a high tape for himself and keeps himself at this high level even while working to expand the rapid charging of the year and open it.

Rivian has been building its shipping network several years ago, but it has climbed the pace of facilities in the past two years. The majority of the adventure network Rivian is dedicated to Rivian owners only and will not allow any other EV drivers to ship there, whether they are Teslas using a transformer or Hummer EV with the original CCS port.

Over the past year, Rivian began to present a handful of the adventure network sites where all Evs are welcome and able to ship. The Rivian’s Joshua Tree Outpost (viewed on Plugshare) as they call it, the first of these sites and is passionately 12 x 300 kW CCS1 in addition to a hall that drivers can rest their feet, seize a snack, and use the bathroom while shipping.

I was enthusiastic about the adventure network experience when I took the R1S Rivian R1s exhibition that I was reviewing on a wild trip. Rivian’s mobility contains a built -in classification system that gives the stations a “shipping degree” based on the data withdrawn from the previous shipping session from the actual Rivian drivers. Factors include things such as average charging speed, successful payment, and success of the total shipping session.

Then the car uses these degrees as a major factor when set the path and charger for your journey. It is a great attempt to integrate the real -world shipping reliability into a useful way. In our test, the navigation did a great job in choosing the shipping devices for our trip. Nevertheless, congestion in the Los Angeles region has caused some unexpected delay.

Using the Rivian adventure network

I didn’t know what to expect when I was withdrawn to the first station. Will I need a credit card? Did you need to form something in the Rivian application? Or was there another Quirk I was not aware of? Rivian uses ingredients and charging protocol, as long as the payment method is prepared in the car, the experiment is smooth.

There are many other shipping stations that are run by dozens or hundreds of network operators, sprayed throughout the United States. It seems that each of them requires a different application, some of which click to pay, while others seem to require a special dance to cancel the magic juice lock inside.

I was withdrawn to the first fast charger for the adventure network in Review and caught the CCS transformer. Good so far. I opened the shipping port on R1S and connected it. A lot of happiness, it has simply started charging Rivian, making the promised ease with ingredients and charging.

It was a beautiful experience, as if one Tesla driver came on Tesla Supercharger network sites all over the world. In fact, Rivian was able to connect and charge the NACS -compatible chargers in Tesla, such as those we followed by R1S Rivian in Williams, Arizona.

The two charges that I used on their way were classified into Flagstaff, Arizona, on 300 kW and I was pumped to find out what they could press. At the second station, it reached about 8 % of a fee and was a little disappointment because it was only deviating to 195 kW.

You are the only car to charge the eight stalls of this site, and with the R1S charging status on the low side, I expected more speed. This is in line with what other users lived, according to Rivian Roamer, which shows the model shipping speed is 192 kW.

Regarding the construction and improvement of the shipping network, it is the first days of the Rivian. More importantly, they have already started providing the most important parts of what is necessary to operate a reliable charging network.

They install elegant and compact charging devices with cables that have good access and theoretically with competitive speeds with other big players. More importantly, Rivian places high priority at the time of operation and high reliability via its charging network. We have no specific time or reliable numbers from Rivian, but many numbers enter them with more than 95 %.

Open to everyone

Rivian launched its own charging network exclusively for Rivian owners, and has slowly opened the same stations every time for non -exhausted drivers. From writing these lines, 42 % (47 out of 112) of the adventure network sites in Rivian are open to all EVS compatible with NACS with the appropriate transformer, according to Rivian Roamer.

Rivian has made a steady progress to open its network on NACS. This directly supports EV’s adoption on a wider scale as well as for the Rivian, as other EVS increases the use of current sites, generating more revenues from current assets.

Future plans

Looking further in the future, Rivian plans to continue to expand its adventure network. “We are expanding the adventure network Rivian, with more than 600 sites in the next few years,” RJ Scaring, CEO of Rivian, said in an interview with CNBC.

This is a good news for all EV drivers, as high reliability and easy -to -use weighted are useful. All Rivian charging devices have been installed so far using the CCS1 charging standard. In the future, this will change, as Rivian adheres to installing the original NACS shipping ports on future vehicles, including the very expected R2 and R3.
