Rivian’s new Joshua Tree outpost is what EV charging should be

The Rivian outpost is the first charging station in Joshua Tree proper.

There are 12 900-volt 300kW CCS chargers, and the outpost is open to any EV , although Teslas will need an adapter.

While the outpost uses electricity from the local grid, Rivian says it matches delivered charger kWh with the purchase of energy derived from solar, wind, and interestingly, non-dam hydropower.

I’m seeing a Rivian road trip in my future, full of practical charging stations where I can grab a soda, use the restroom, and put together a trendy charcuterie board. Photography by Emme Hall for The Verge .
