Thanks so much for the great video. My wife and I honeymooned in Yosemite so it has a special place in our hearts. We recently took delivery of our R1T here in Washington state where we live now. We just celebrated our 50th anniversary and hope to recreate some special memories in our Rivian. Thanks for making our memories live again.
Wow ❤ thank you so much for this. I live in Italy and we don’t get the Rivian yet here but it surely is my dream car for the future. Seeing these videos is like a little taste of being around in incredible nature with the car, thank you for making these and sharing your adventures with the world.
Honestly the most impressive part of all of this was that you stopped at ANY Electrify America chargers and they worked. I’ve yet to find any EA installations where 7/8 of the chargers aren’t broken and the one remaining one is capped at 35kW. EA is an utter disaster zone around here. So bad that we can’t rely on them so we can’t do much in the way of road trips. Sucks so badly. I’ve had to flatbed out EV back from half-finished road trips a couple of times because the junk EA chargers were broken and we were beyond half-range so we couldn’t get back.
That sounds super frustrating! I use an app called PlugShare quite a bit and would definitely recommend using it to find good charging stations. It allows you to sort by their 1-10 rating system(based on actual peoples reviews)and generally the chargers with 7 and above have worked well for me👍🏻
Great video! Nice job, and gorgeous footage. Quick question: what is the name of the lake that you visited, that was the Yosemite Ranger's recommendation? Thanks!
Did you have any issues with no chargers available? I went up there in my old Tesla and needed to charge at the hotel using 110v from their ice machine 😢. Found I had range anxiety up there; didn’t want to drive too far because I was worried I couldn’t make it back to the hotel, with such a weak charging rate - couldn’t replenish what I was using during the day. I am very hesitant to take my rivian, which though a larger battery, makes the 110v even more painful to use.
I’ve noticed the Electrify America stations sometimes are free if they aren’t charging at the speed they are supposed to. The Rivian chargers are free if you have a Rivian so the total cost of this trip was around $50 and likely would’ve been around $65-$70 if that last Electrify America station wasn’t free👍🏻

Awesome video mate - keep up the good work! You are definitely creating in an upcoming genre and it is really rewarding to watch.
Your production quality is way better than most TH-camrs. Do you have a background in video production?
Thanks! I actually don’t - just been photographing cars as a hobby for awhile and practicing with the drone on some previous adventures 👍🏻
Very beautiful videography… enjoyed the video quite a lot
Thank you!
Oh man, I'm excited the algorithm hit me with this vid. I've totally been curious about the Rivian. Looking forward to more. Cheers.
I’m glad it did too! Happy you enjoyed the video🙌🏻
Breathtaking! Video is beautiful, very professional. Thank you for sharing your adventures! Looking forward to more :)
Loving the content mate! Keep it coming. 👍
Thanks!
Love the videos man, only suggestion is to improve the mic a bit.
Excellent production quality.
Also it's pronounced 2-Larry
Good to know! I wasn’t sure on the pronunciation

@@ChargeOverland I use PlugShare too. If you look at the ratings for the EA chargers around Utah, Colorado and Nevada, it’s pretty grim. 😔
@@chrislonghurst Well that’s a bummer - hopefully the charging network improves over time!
Dope video and info. I didn’t know they had Rivian chargers inside Yosemite. Do you need to stay the lodge to use them? Keep up the quality content!
I think the chargers are open to anyone during the day👍🏻 Not sure if the lodge checks for parking permits overnight though
You have a lot of potential. You could take this channel very far dude. Keep it up!!!
Thanks I appreciate it!! 😃
Great video! Nice job, and gorgeous footage. Quick question: what is the name of the lake that you visited, that was the Yosemite Ranger's recommendation? Thanks!
Thanks! It was Tenaya Lake👍🏻
How were you able to get a Rivian tent already?
Great video
So a great vid man!
Thank you!

I didn’t have any issues with availability of chargers but I was also there during the week and not on a weekend so probably wasn’t as busy
Where you able to use Driver+ much during your drives? Adaptive Cruise Control / Lane Centering?
Yes! Most of the highway driving I was able to use Highway Assist👍🏻
Why was the charging free? Would be interested in the normal cost of the trip

Why not leave the tent at home?
Didn’t have a good spot in my garage to store it otherwise I would have👍🏻
@@ChargeOverland I've seen others hang it from the ceiling. Bars and all.
whitney is an easy climb and you look pretty fit so you should have no problem
