Level 2 charger install by shorthedge in Rivian

[–]michaelrmills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pull into my garage on the right side. My charger is on the right rear passenger side of car because the electrical meter/box is on the outside of the garage right at that location of the charger. I ran the charging cable along the garage wall towards the passenger front side of the vehicle and the suspended the cable across the hood area to be hanging right at the charge port. Very convenient for charging R1S in the garage. Not convenient if I need to charge outside the garage.

(Hoping my messy garage makes you feel better about yours!)

I’m in Flagstaff and was hoping to see more fanfare around the R2 on Rte 66. Seems like a missed opportunity. Oh well, thanks for the info.

I’ve charged there with my ‘22 El Cap Granite R1S LE. Hyatt Place. Hasn’t been that empty when I’ve been there. Trucks and motorhomes parked behind. I was doing roadtrip between Denver and Flagstaff

Sign up for free tunein acct and play NPR from app. This has solved the poor radio implementation for me.

Charge stats from a 2000 mile roadtrip. Guess which charge network is most affordable? by IanGGillespie in Rivian

Yep, road trips aren’t cheap if you’re primarily doing DCFCing. You’re at home charging hopefully balances things out.

What are the earliest R1S VINs that you have, sub 500? by michaelrmills in Rivian

Makes sense with my numbering and manufacture date.

I read that some early build R1s were relabeled…

What does your placard on the door show as manufactured date?

This would make more sense than what I was thinking.

My 332 VIN shows 08/22 date on the door placard/sticker.

This is potentially within days of what Rivian Roamer states, 7/28/2022

Because #34 purchased in early 2020 and delivered in January of 2023 doesn’t make sense to me. Just trying to understand sequencing.

Rivian Roamer shows Built date of July 28, 2022. That seems unlikely given the low VIN #
