Rivian Adventure Network: Chevy Bolt EVs Limited to 125 A

From News Coulomb.

In a recent Boltmas video ( https://youtu.be/U-0ve-rZvYs ), I visited a Rivian Adventure Network (RAN) @Rivian . This was the first time I have used a RAN charging site, and I was surprised too see that my Chevrolet Bolt EV was only charging at 43 kW (typical for 125 A, 50 kW chargers). After posting the video, a number of Bolt EV owners chimed in saying that they also experienced similar charging speeds when using RAN.

After looking at the numbers and the placards on the cabinets, I’m now convinced that Rivian is only able to distribute power in 125 A (50 kW modules). However, Rivian also appears to require that a certain percentage of the second power module is requested by the EV before it will be allocated. What I don’t know is whether and how this also works when a module that is in use falls below the required cutoff, or whether the RAN chargers will later allocate more power if the EV requests it.

I’d love to hear your experiences. Thanks!
