Rivian opens its first Charging Outpost, a crunchy not-gas station near Yosemite


Rivian just opened its first EV charging rest stop 24 miles outside of Yosemite National Park. Its DC fast chargers will only be usable by Rivian owners, but all other amenities are open to the public.

The Charging Outpost is located in Groveland, California near the park’s west entrance and takes the place of an abandoned gas station. It’s the first time Rivian has ventured into this kind of infrastructure, building on its growing network of regular charging sites — several of which are situated near Yosemite. It’s fitted with solar panels and has a passive cooling design that’s meant to reduce the need for AC or heating.
