Rivian is opening its charging network to other EVs

Each new Rivian Adventure Network station will be available to all compatible EVs, and existing chargers will receive "gradual retrofits" to allow other makes.

We’ll supposedly see other Rivian charging points pop up in Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Montana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New York this year, and those too will be open to non-Rivian EVs. That’s what makes this such big news considering EV owners from all different brands will have additional charging options at each new station, and existing Rivian chargers will be gradually retrofitted to accept non-Rivian models over time. And if you’re concerned about where the electricity for these charging stations will come from—which is just as environmentally considerate as ditching fossil fuel for battery power—Rivian assures it’s using 100% renewable energy.
