I didn’t have EA problem on my last road trip, but I want to report Francis Energy DCFC station problem. New Mexico hardly have DCFC station outside of Tesla, so I had to plan where to go judiciously. I went to White Sands National Park, tried to charge the only DCFC station where PlugShare told...

Level-3 Charger = DCFC Charger

My number may be skewed to my personal use case. When I drive Lucid Air GT, I tend to go fast with just 2 passengers and drive down to 10% and under SOC in high confidence. However, when I drive Rivian R1S for long trip, I have 6 passengers loaded with luggages and for caution, I would drive...

No sure. It’s been mystery.

Although Rivian doesn’t have initial high speed charge as Lucid Air at 250~320kW speed, but it does stay at 180~205 kW very long at its own Rivian Adventure Network station. In EA and EVGo, it would be less optimal, but still very long at 140kW+ before 50~60% is reached. It has high 135kW pack...

ABRP gave Rivian foundation of its navigation for road tripping with versatility of add/remove way points. Previously, Rivian didn’t have that capability unlike Lucid does. In addition, ABRP tracks elevation and latest weather data to calculate for accurate range estimation and it gave Rivian...

Rivian was known for recruited ex-Tesla engineers who worked on Tesla Superchargers. Somewhere I read average station for EA and EVGo are $600K~$750K with 3~4 charging stalls. Tesla can build a station of 8 stalls for $250k, and Rivian can build station of 6 stalls for $300k. Build charging...

I too have been impressed by consistent OTA update every 4 weeks. The latest 2024.07.11 has rear screen jumping out colorful Gear Guard jumping. I’m anxiously waiting.

Hardwire is usually better for more amperage. Having 14-50 outlet is good for flexibility as there are splitter in the market let you plug in 2 EVs at same time to control split amperage to each car. Either way is fine, you can sell home with charger on it as highlight point.

Bring USB and USB-C charging cords. Download PlugShare and ABRP apps if you ingend to make extended trip for charging outside of house.

Lucid OEM, perfect fit, and works even better than tinted roof.

WOW! Not just 1 space, but both spaces… 🎵I love what you do for me, Toyota…🎵
