EVgo has announced that Rivian's R1T and R1S vehicles are both now compatible with its AutoCharge+ charging feature.
is the latest one on the list. The service allows EV owners with compatible vehicles to enroll in the feature which, after an initial setup, lets you simply pull up and plug in to charge, just like Tesla’s at a Supercharger., the company announced that the Rivian R1T and R1S are the latest vehicles to get the benefit of Autocharge+. Ivo Steklac, Chief Technology Officer at EVgo, said in a statement that the company plans to continue expanding compatibility to more EV models in the future.
“As we’ve seen with rideshare, on-demand delivery, contactless payments and beyond – the more frictionless and dependable an experience is, the more people will embrace it. EVgo is committed to delivering reliable and convenient fast charging, and Autocharge+ offers the seamless customer experience that drivers expect. We’re thrilled to welcome Rivian drivers to Autocharge+ and look forward to expanding the program for even more EV drivers in the future.
Even though there are still only 30 compatible vehicles, EVgo says that, since launching the Autocharge+ feature back in September of last year, sessions using the feature already make up 13% of all charging sessions in the United States. That’s not surprising — I imagine any EV owner with a compatible model would sign up for the feature to enjoy a seamless experience. EVgo also doesn’t charge anything extra for the feature — a good move as well to increase the adoption of its network.
EVgo is obviously playing some catchup to Tesla here. Tesla’s charging experience has been seamless for…forever, and the Supercharger network is about to become the go-to network for a lot of EV owners once they start to get access to all 12,000 charging stations in North America starting in 2025. If EVgo and other charging companies want to compete, they need to provide a competitive experience.For Rivian owners, this is a nice win.
I’m personally ready for my next car to be an EV, and seeing moves like this makes me feel better about making the switch over the next few years. Hopefully, Rivian’s R2 will actually hit that $40,000 price point or Subaru will come in hot with an electric version of the Crosstrek by then.
