Rivian’s new energy-usage info

[jedwin]

Cool, something new to wish Lucid would add for us! Sure does sound nice, and should be doable. (Ah, great….now I’m fantasizing that it’s already been baked into upcoming new UX…!)

“The new update allows Rivian owners to see “where their energy is going” in real time, says Wassym Bensaid, chief software officer at the company. The updated Energy app will display detailed graphs explaining how energy is used when the vehicle is idle and will provide tips on how to best conserve energy and range, he says.

The Energy app will also now include two tabs: “Charging” for energy intake and “Energy Monitor” for energy output. The Charging tab provides a detailed breakdown of where the energy is going, including battery, overall system consumption, HVAC usage, and any connected accessories. And in the Energy Monitor tab, there’s a new chart that shows customers how climate, outlets, and drive systems are consuming energy when they’re driving or parked.”

Rivian wants to make EV charging faster, smarter, and easier

Faster charging is always appreciated.

Something similar to this was in a Gravity demo video, so they've at least thought about it.

A history of miles driven between each charging would definitely be nice. This information gets lost as soon as I plug in to charge. Also if it's able to use that to predict future miles based on past averages would give better predictions based on individual driver's styles. The Rivian realtime charging update would be informative if it also ties into your driving style. The Rivian app looks quite polished, hope Lucid can bring in some of the elements featured on it.

Haven't seen the new metrology you mentioned on my Rivian regarding where the energy consumption is going. That sounds great and very helpful. As you probably know, Rivian has a "real-time" efficiency chart which displays the miles/kWhr efficiency for the past 10-15min. As such, you can visulize in "real-time" how your driving speed, tempeature, wind speed, elevation changes, etc. affect the energy consumption (hence the mi/kWh). This type of metrology demystifies a lot of the unknowns about how the environment and one's driving habits affect efficiency. I wish Lucid would do similarly. All the sensors and data are already there in the instrumentation. It is "just" a matter of graphing them.

Coming from an R1S, I fully appreciate what you mentioned. In the absence of a state of charge indicator, it would also help gauge one's range based on driving style - at least in addition to expected range indicated

Sounds like a really cool feature, hope we see something similar in our cars someday. I've got to applaud Rivian for providing so much info to the user. It seems like many automakers are scared to display detailed info like that.
