Best EV Chargers for the Rivian R1T

With the top-rated Autel MaxiCharger delivering 11.5 kW, a Rivian R1T charges from 20% to 80% in about 6.8 hours and from 0% to 100% in approximately 11.3 hours. That adds roughly 28 miles of range per hour. Overnight (8 hours), you can recover up to 223 miles of range.

The Rivian R1T uses the NACS (North American Charging Standard) connector for both AC and DC charging. Most J1772 chargers work with an inexpensive J1772-to-NACS adapter, which is included with many Tesla vehicles or available aftermarket for around $15.

The Lectron V-Box at $379 offers strong value with a compatibility score of 70/100. It delivers 11.5 kW effective power to the R1T, adding about 28 miles of range per hour.

Yes. The Rivian R1T uses NACS, but a simple J1772-to-NACS adapter lets you use any J1772 charger at full Level 2 speed. Many Tesla vehicles include this adapter. Aftermarket adapters cost around $15 and do not reduce charging speed.

The R1T has a 11.5 kW / 48A onboard charger. For maximum charging speed, install a charger on a 60A dedicated circuit (the NEC 80% rule requires the breaker to be 125% of the continuous load). A 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50A breaker works for most EVs.
