Summary

  • California is leading the charge in electric charging infrastructure but the system has flaws, including badly-placed and hard-to-find charging stations.
  • The Rivian R1T is an impressive electric truck with useful features and a tech-packed interior, but it gets let down by the lousy charging infrastructure in California.
  • The charging network, including the Supercharger network, is not ready for the electric future, resulting in surprise issues, sudden closures, and high costs for a full charge.
