Rivian Adventure Network Fast Charging Launches in Colorado, California
June 27 2022 - 1:00PM
Business Wire
Rivian opens three fast charging sites this week in Colorado and
California, the first deployments in its nationwide Rivian
Adventure Network. These “Level 3” DC fast charging sites will
initially provide over 200 kilowatts of power, allowing Rivian
drivers to add as much as 140 miles of range in just 20 minutes and
creating new opportunities for sustainable adventure far from
home.
The first Rivian Adventure Network site in Salida, Colorado
opened to the public on Monday, June 27 with four chargers,
including a pull-through charger to accommodate vehicles towing
trailers. The site also hosts four “Level 2” Rivian Waypoints
chargers, which are available for use by any EV – not just Rivian
vehicles – through the Rivian smartphone app. Thanks to its natural
beauty and abundant nearby recreational opportunities, Salida is an
ideal location for Rivian’s first fast charging site. The second
and third Adventure Network sites in Inyokern and Bishop,
California, will open on June 28 and 29. These California sites
support frequently visited areas like Yosemite National Park,
Sequoia National Forest, Mammoth Lakes, and Death Valley National
Park.
“We designed Rivian charging to support electrified adventure,
and these first sites demonstrate how we’re enabling drivers to
responsibly reach some of the nation’s most breathtaking natural
spaces,” said Trent Warnke, Rivian’s Senior Director of Energy and
Charging Solutions. “In addition to scenic or off-the-beaten-path
destinations, our fast charging rollout is designed to ensure
travelers have places to charge along major transportation
corridors coast to coast.”
Recognizing that vehicle electrification is only one step in
reducing environmental impact, Rivian is matching charging on
Rivian Adventure Network and Waypoints chargers with 100% renewable
energy on an annual basis. Rivian is engaging directly with clean
energy developers and operators to promote tangible contributions
to a cleaner grid when drivers plug in. To support this initiative,
Rivian is building a portfolio of high-impact renewable projects
around the country that balance technologies, location, and energy
solutions. Integrating these solutions into a company-wide
sustainability strategy is a foundational step on our path toward
net-zero carbon emissions.
Rivian will continue opening Rivian Adventure Network sites with
an initial goal of 3,500 fast chargers at 600 sites across North
America.
