EV Channels Review
Scot provides a candid two-week review of her first electric vehicle, the Rivian R1S Dual Max. While impressed by its capability in snow and its suitability for camping, she highlights significant concerns. The vehicle's handling on the highway is described as "nervous" with a feeling of the rear end being disconnected, a stark contrast to the more stable Gen 1 R1S she later tested. Other drawbacks include squeaking door handles, a malfunctioning auto-wiper system, and the inconvenience of public charging due to a lack of home charging solutions and issues with charger accessibility and app integration. Despite these issues, Scot appreciates the comfort, safety, and quick acceleration, finding it a vast upgrade from her previous vehicles. The review emphasizes the challenges of EV adoption without reliable home charging and the need for better navigation integration of public charging availability.
