Rivian opens its adventure charging network to other EVs today

December 5, 2024:

“Since the beginning, we’ve understood that creating great products like the R1T and R1S only made up half the equation,” said Rivian Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe. “To achieve widespread electrification, you also need a really good charging network. Now, we’re excited to bring the Rivian Adventure Network—with its ease of use and exceptional reliability—to other EV drivers around North America, investing in a future where charging on the road will be simple, sustainable, and convenient.”

To begin with, only the Joshua Tree Outpost will be open to non-Rivian EVs. In addition to the chargers—and we think some restrooms—the Outpost also has a lounge and library for drivers to wait in while they charge, as well as a selection of Rivian merch for purchase.

Rivian notes that the new chargers—which are rated at 900 V, meet the design and siting requirements set out under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure programs created by US President Joe Biden to disburse federal money to states to build out EV charging infrastructure in the US. By opening up to non-Rivian EVs, the network becomes eligible to apply for funding under those programs.
