Rivian wants to make EV charging faster, smarter, and easier
Briefly

Rivian is significantly upgrading its Energy app to enhance the charging experience for electric vehicle (EV) owners. The planned software update will feature real-time monitoring of energy intake and output, allowing users to visualize their vehicle's energy consumption patterns. The app will now include two main tabs: one focusing on charging details and the other showcasing energy monitoring. This change aims to provide consumers with actionable insights on conserving energy and improving efficiency as Rivian navigates challenges in the EV charging landscape.
When they're actively charging, the app provides a detailed breakdown of where the energy is going, including battery, overall system consumption, HVAC usage, and any connected accessories.
The idea is [to] democratize the access in terms of 'energy in' with charging and then 'energy out' with how you're spending your range.
The updated Energy app will display detailed graphs explaining how energy is used when the vehicle is idle and will provide tips on how to best conserve energy and range.
The Charging tab shows EV owners how much energy is flowing directly into their battery pack during a charge session, as compared to the energy being used by other vehicle systems.
