Rivian's Energy app Update Improving the EV Charging Experience
Rivian is working on overhauling its Energy app to improve the way EV owners charge their vehicles and their EV charging experience.
Rivian has announced a major update to its Energy app - software platform, aimed at enhancing the EV charging experience for its customers.
This latest software release brings significant improvements to how Rivian electric vehicles interact with DC fast chargers, especially those not part of Rivian’s proprietary Adventure Network.
Enhanced Charging Compatibility
A primary feature of the latest Rivian Energy app update is improved communication between Rivian vehicles and third-party DC fast chargers. Previously, some Rivian drivers encountered issues with charging sessions at non-Rivian stations. The new software addresses these challenges by optimizing how Rivian vehicles authenticate and manage charging protocols with various fast-charging providers. This enhancement is expected to result in more reliable charging sessions and fewer interruptions for drivers relying on public networks like Electrify America and EVgo.
Refreshed Rivian Energy App Interface
The update also brings a revamped Energy app interface within the vehicle's infotainment system. Drivers can now access detailed charging metrics, including charging rate, estimated time remaining, and energy delivered. This real-time information empowers users to monitor their charging sessions more effectively and plan their journeys with greater confidence.
Smarter Autonomy Visualizations
Beyond charging improvements, the Rivian Energy app update introduces smarter autonomy visualizations. These enhancements provide drivers with clearer insights into the vehicle's autonomous systems, offering a more intuitive understanding of how the vehicle perceives its surroundings and makes driving decisions.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Rivian's latest software update underscores the company's dedication to enhancing the overall EV ownership experience. By addressing charging compatibility issues and refining user interfaces, Rivian aims to make electric driving more accessible and convenient for its customers
