Excellent, we have electricians in to do the wiring for our new heat pumps, and they’re also going to move an old 220V 30A dryer outlet that’s no longer used to the garage, so I’ll be able to charge my #Rivian at better than 1 kW on the 110V, 15A outlet that was previously the only one close enough to the driveway to reach (the garage itself is stupidly not actually accessible to anything larger than a side by side…
@joshourisman I'm also running on a 30A circuit (24A / 5.6kW charging) and it's way more than adequate for my needs. Granted, I don't drive a lot either.
But it's definitely informed me that, when I buy my own house and have a circuit put in for this, I'm not going to fret over maxing out, heh.
@bedast yeah. I’m confident that the 30A will be more than adequate. The current situation is not, as we’re kinda in the middle of nowhere, so need to be able to charge enough to at least get to the nearest fast charger overnight, rather than in three days…
@Crab22 not sure what that has to do with anything, but as far as I’m aware, the most recent numbers are something like 3,000 CyberTrucks vs over 50,000 Rivians. (Delivered, I’m sure the number ‘sold’ is larger for both.)
All pure-play BEV companies are dying or are rapidly heading in that direction.
I keep on saying that this is not a viable business. BEVs are not the future and won't be anything but a tiny niche. It's entirely a false market created by subsidies, cheap loans and delusions by enthusiasts and investors. Things will inevitable come to an end.
Rivian is not going to live much longer. It only survives due to free cash from investors and subsidies. It will end once that cash runs out. Which is happening very fast...
Der @DonDahlmann und ich haben uns eines der spannendsten US-Startups der Automobilbranche angeschaut: #Rivian
Das hat sogar dahin gefuehrt, dass ich es gar als das #Apple der Automobilhersteller bezeichnet habe... und icn finde, dass ich das im Podcast auch begruenden kann.
