bkmrkron Rivian embraces Tesla's charging standard for EVs

I have a Tesla ~10k miles and have not used supercharger yet because I just plug the car in at home once a week.

If you estimate total pump time.

IE 35 minutes on supercharger vs 10 minutes on gas (including time to drive to station) but take into account number of times you need to actually charge up the car at a super charger. IE once every 2 months vs 3x per month, you will see that you actually spend less total time in a charger station vs gas pump.
