Rivian plans exclusive charging network

[TruckElectric]

NHTSA should have regulated a standard connector years ago.

Only problem there is they didn't have 800v architecture and fast DC chargers so a standard connector years ago would have to have been updated. UL(Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) not NHTSA would be helping setting the standard connector(s).

We are in the nascent stage of EV's, in 10 years it will be quite different given that the rate of change will continue exponentially. Look how long it took us to get to USB-C connectors to be almost universal among electronic devices.

Expect, if someone needs a charge, and Rivian's charger won't charge the EV in question: A charger could suffer damage. I'm. just saying. Not by myself, but someone will be upset and take it out on the charger.... and you know what? A damaged charger won't even charge a Rivian. Go figure. peace
