2. Rivian EV Charger Installation

## Charging port and connector

The R1T and R1S use J1772 on earlier model years and NACS on newer ones, with Rivian adapters available.

## How fast it charges at home

Rivian vehicles charge at up to 48 amps (11.5 kW) on Level 2, adding roughly 25 miles of range per hour for these large-battery trucks.

## Manufacturer and universal chargers

The Rivian Wall Charger is a hardwired 48-amp unit designed for outdoor mounting; any comparable Level 2 charger also works.

## Installation notes

Because the battery packs are large, Rivian owners get the most benefit from a full 48-amp installation on a 60-amp circuit rather than a 32-amp plug-in unit.

## What Progressive does

- Load calculation, permit and county inspection.
- Dedicated 240 V circuit sized for your Rivian, hardwired or NEMA 14-50, indoor or outdoor.
- [Panel replacement](/electrical/panel-upgrades) or load management when the panel is full.
- Repair and maintenance of the charger, cable and connector.

## Frequently asked questions

Do I need the Rivian-branded charger?No. The manufacturer unit works well and is a good choice if you already have it; a universal hardwired charger performs the same and often costs less.

Will my panel handle it?Usually a 200-amp panel will; many 100-amp panels will not without load management or an upgrade. The load calculation in our assessment answers it, and we quote both options.

    Joe Oliveira stopped by my home, took time to understand the problem that I was having with the unit, went back and discussed the issue with his team of experts and had a detailed work order sent to me with in a day. … Based on the experience that I have had with Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical, I will HIGHLY recommend them for HVAC install and maintenance.
