16 days agoI also love their charger network as a non-rivian owner. Seamless, sleek, fast, no faffing with an app…
But also their app has a route planner for EVs to account for charging stops?! And it lists all chargers, not just their own. I’m actually pleasantly surprised.
EDIT: well I just found out how they managed to roll their own route planner without me hearing anything about it and only seeing people talking about ABRP still: Rivian just bought ABRP, so their app is just calling ABRP in the background with only their specific car’s info. I opened ABRP today for it to tell me that I have to agree to Rivian’s TOS to continue using the app.
It’s surprising how they were kinda the first to promise this sort of thing, but they’re SO FAR BEHIND the other companies who got into it. Sure, the other companies don’t claim that they’ll be anything beyond really advanced cruise control, but even then, a lot of them are really close to breaking out of that.
