From Out of Spec Podcast.
My Rivian R1T threw a 12V battery warning, so I documented the entire replacement process — why EVs seem to burn through 12V batteries faster, what Rivian’s mobile service experience was like, and what it actually cost.
In the video I explain why EVs still use 12V systems, how the high-voltage pack and DC-DC converter keep them charged, and why that setup can sometimes shorten 12V battery lifespan.
