Good News for EV Adventure seekers: Explore those remote areas with Rivian’s EV chargers.
Rivian expands its EV charger network in remote areas to push your long drives further through Rivian’s Adventure Network Charging stations. It opened three DC fast charging EV chargers last month. Why is this important? For starters, there are plenty of EV charging stations in the US in developed areas, mainly cities. But EV cars have always been somehow limited as there aren’t EV charging stations in the remote areas where you could go for adventure.
