Rivian Opens First EV ‘Charging Outpost’ with Lounge, Library, and Other Amenities

EV manufacturer and automotive technology company Rivian has opened its first Charging Outpost that is intended to be a comfortable space for drivers to relax and recharge while recharging their EVs. 

Rivian’s Charging Outpost is in Groveland, California, 24 miles from Yosemite National Park. 

It features a comfortable lounge, library, restrooms, “make your own trail mix bar”, and refill station for water bottles, in addition to five DC fast chargers. Solar panels are used to generate enough power to run the building and passive cooling techniques were implemented in the building design to minimize its energy use. 

According to The Autopian, Rivian is aiming to roll out more installations near national parks and other “high traffic areas” around the U.S. 

“We want to support local communities or anyone traveling to these destinations, as well as making the charging experience even better than it is today,” said Liz Guerrero, Senior Director of Environments at Rivian.
