Just saw this on line and skimmed it. They mention that the Rivian now has a "camping mode" that only loses 4 miles of range per day when "shut off" instead of 16 (I think it was 16) that they previously experienced on one of their outings.
They also mention one road trip taking 2 hours longer in an EV than it would have in an IC vehicle. Lots of charging hassles mentioned and losing range due to the cold.
But they do try to put a positive spin on it referencing that some problems are due to the writer not having a home charger or a learning curve. But I'm shocked the mentioned the negatives at all.
Again, hard pass from me. Driving should not take this much logistics juggling, planning, and technical understanding. But I'm sure the EV lovers will be here to say its not that bad and all you need is a Tesla.
