ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

[MarzNC]

Grabbed some electrons at lunch. The math says a fill up from zero at a rivian charger is 44.90.

There was a Rivian Adventure charging station at Crested Butte. Only two chargers I think. It's right near the main base, which isn't that big at CB. Noticed it on the map when we were figuring out where our condo was located.

Found a thread about it:

Didn't even know Rivian had their own chargers. Do they use the Tesla standard?

Ok - efficiency report- 340 miles at 2.14 mi per kw in conserve x 131 usable kw takes you to 280 miles, 92.5 percent of stated range of 303. Fairly mild temps, with some ac at the end.

Yes and no. Mine, no. They made a deal w Tesla so that in 2025 all Rivians will be on Tesla standard.

They are giving ppl like me a free adapter for the Tesla network but it could take months.

Happily for me, this and Holyoke mass opened this month so that Jay and northern Vermont are within reach w one charge stop.

Any road trips yet?

Do you mean whether or not the Rivian Adventure chargers use the Tesla NACS standard plug? The answer to that was "no" before 2024.

My impression is that the Rivian Adventure Network was focused on the idea of the R1T and R1S being for "adventures" that included hiking, boating, fishing, and/or camping in or near parks. Meaning state parks or national parks farther away from metropolitan areas that already had EV charging stations.

What is the Rivian Adventure Network? - Support Center - Rivian

The Rivian Adventure Network is a comprehensive network of fast-charging sites — initially capable of adding up to 140 miles of range in 20 minutes to the R1T and R1S. The Rivian Adventure Network is planned to grow to more than 3,500 fast chargers at over 600 sites across the US and Canada...

What I saw in Crested Butte wasn't a Rivian Adventure Network fast charging set up. Only 4 Waypoints chargers. I guess those are Level 2?

Salida and Montrose have Rivian fast chargers. I would say those are primarily for green season adventures, not ski trips. Did see a few Teslas around Crested Butte and Gunnison.

Yes waypoints are level 2. They are supposed to be free. The high speed rivian adventure network charges money - that is what I used today.

No not until May or June when we drive down to Baltimore. Still waiting for the electrician to install the wall charger too as all I've been able to do is drip charge. Took like 36 hours to go from 40-80 last weekend. I think I get even less then 120/15 in the garage as the Tesla is always warning about low voltage.

Technically I'm charging two EVs

I sure wish those electric buggies were around when I was a kid. My dad limited the amount of gas he would give me for my gocart and minibike! LoL
