EV Channels Review
The reviewer embarks on a long-distance road trip in a Rivian R1T, covering 1400 miles across five states in 36 hours. The journey highlights the practicalities of EV road-tripping, focusing heavily on charging experiences. While the R1T's performance and comfort are implicitly praised through its use on such a demanding trip, the review zeroes in on the inconsistencies and frustrations with public charging infrastructure. The reviewer encounters numerous issues with Electrify America and Francis Energy chargers, including faulty cables, slow charging speeds, and unreliable operation, particularly noting the detrimental effects of time-based billing. Despite these challenges, the reviewer successfully navigates the trip, showcasing the R1T's capability to cover significant distances, albeit with a strong emphasis on the need for improved and more reliable charging solutions.
