    GPS Solutions for EV's

    still plenty of range to get to where I need to go..... that being said a tablet could run forever in my truck the vampire drain would kill the truck long before a tablet would.

    GPS Solutions for EV's

    Some of you may or may not know that even though EV's have an infotainment center that includes navigation it is not recommended to use that navigation solution for off-roading / overlanding. (kinda weird considering the Rivian is sold as an adventure vehicle... hopefully they can close that...

    you would think however even if I got double that I would still overcome the charge rate in less than an hour of driving.

    This is not the case I have a 6500Wh Generator with a 220v 30a outlet I get about 5 to 8 miles an hour from that when I am charging. Also not all generators work you have to get an inverter generator or the vehicle will refuse to charge. Electricity production from a gallon of gas based off of...

    The Rivian has a built in air compressor however I do agree that the winch is nice to have and that a recovery kit is more important. The issue I am trying to solve is right now I do not have the option of a winch with the Rivian which I feel is somewhat short sighted on Rivian's part. So I am...

    thanks for the reply! Yes Rivian was working on a winch built into the bumper but it is my understanding that they have shelved that project. Not sure if they did so permanently or if it is like the camp kitchen which they still plan on delivering. And to your note on the aftermarket stuff that...

    No one is stopping climate change. Humanity doesn't have the power to do so.

    Can someone smarter than me please explain…

    Not sure if an EV is better for the environment in the short term but in the long term I would agree that it is. That being said it takes like 5 to 6 years before an EV starts to overcome its initial carbon footprint. That being said I plan to replace my EV with a newer EV in 5 years which means...

    I am new to this forum in fact just found this site a couple days ago and just go approved to post. Not sure how many here have EV's and do any type of Overlanding with them but I do and I intend to do just that. I own a Rivian R1T and one of the biggest challenges I am running into is finding...

    I think one of the biggest reasons an ICE is not used to charge the batteries on a full EV is just the shear amount of power those vehicles use. I own a Rivian R1T and it has a 135Kwh battery in it. People don't understand just how much power that is. Sure I can literally plug it into a 110...
