Rivian’s charging network, known as the Adventure Network (RAN), and Tesla’s Supercharger network are both highly reliable, but they have slightly different problem rates. According to a recent study by Consumer Reports, Tesla’s Superchargers reported issues in about 4% of charging sessions, making them the most reliable. In contrast, Rivian’s RAN experienced problems in approximately 5% of sessions, which is still significantly better than most other charging networks.
Comparison of Reliability
| Charging Network | Problem Rate |
|---|---|
| Tesla Superchargers | 4% |
| Rivian Adventure Network (RAN) | 5% |
This suggests that while both networks are very reliable, Tesla’s Superchargers have a slight edge. However, it’s important to note that Rivian’s network, despite being much smaller with fewer than 100 sites and less than 600 chargers, still achieves an impressive reliability rate.
