Rivian’s new Joshua Tree outpost is what EV charging should be


A look inside Rivian’s new charging station

While the outpost uses electricity from the local grid, Rivian says it matches delivered charger kWh with the purchase of energy derived from solar, wind, and interestingly, non-dam hydropower. Rivian has partnered with Atlanta, Georgia-based Emrgy that places turbines in existing irrigation canals to provide continuous renewable energy without damming up rivers and creeks. I’m seeing a Rivian road trip in my future, full of practical charging stations where I can grab a soda, use the restroom, and put together a trendy charcuterie board.
