RIVIAN R1T DOG RESCUE TRANSPORT WITH CHARGING PROBLEMS!

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a road trip transporting a rescue dog, Alice, from Denver, CO to North Platte, NE in a Rivian R1T Launch Edition. The journey was significantly hampered by numerous charging issues, primarily with Electrify America stations, which frequently malfunctioned, provided slow charging speeds, or were unavailable. Despite these obstacles, the R1T's utility as a transport vehicle was highlighted, with ample space for dog food and crates. The 'Dog Mode' feature was also noted as a useful addition. The reviewer expressed frustration with the vehicle's navigation and charging planner, often resorting to manual calculations and trusting their instincts over the car's recommendations. While the R1T itself performed adequately, the charging infrastructure proved to be the main antagonist, leading to significant delays and stress. The video also includes a promotional segment for a raffle supporting the Chesapeake Climate Action Network Action Fund.
