      EV Charging - Discuss all about this for both Public and Private

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      Thank you, that is very weird indeed. such a mess of configurations while it might save some money here and there, it would be best if they just optimized on maximizing the charging speed through the controller to all best in class experience. Sadly, as much as I love the Rivian Product, I have to disagree with RJ on his statement about the R2 and R3 do not need 800V charging and while there is no commitment, this interview seems to imply that he only see's 400V for the R2/R3 auto's. Even the R1 which he admits will benefit from 800V and needs to move to it, will not be done yet. The Rivian R2 And R3 Probably Won't Be 800-Volt

      EV Charging - Discuss all about this for both Public and Private

      Looks like we're both wrong and both right. For 2023+, all versions of the Model-3/Y except the base model have 250kw charging. The base models get 170kw. Prior to that, the standard range got 150kw and the long range got 250kw. There's some oddball configurations of Model-Y that are standard range but AWD that also seem to get 250kw charging. I've been looking into the Rivians lately and one disappointing thing is they have a relatively slow 170kW charge speed.  That speed is tolerable on a Model-3 because it's pretty efficient, but the Rivians get 50% of the range from the same energy.

      Yeah, there really just isn't a need for that kind of infrastructure somewhere where the vehicle is going to be parked for 20 minutes minimum regardless.  Next to a highway where people aren't trying to waste any time? Perfect.
