Rivian Membership Plan: Charging & LTE Connectivity

Rivian Prepares for EV Launch with New Membership Program

Production of the R1T truck is well underway at Rivian’s manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois. The company is now finalizing preparations for the official release of its initial electric vehicles later this month.

On Thursday, Rivian unveiled a membership program designed to provide owners with complimentary charging access. This access will be available at the company’s forthcoming Adventure Network and Waypoints charging stations.

Renewable Energy and Connectivity

Rivian has committed to offsetting the energy consumption of its Membership customers. For every mile driven, the company will match it with energy sourced from renewable sources like wind and solar power.

Furthermore, the membership includes unlimited 4G LTE connectivity for all Rivian owners.

Enhanced Support and Future Benefits

The Rivian Membership also encompasses Rivian Off-Roadside Assistance. This service provides recovery vehicle dispatch for situations where drivers become stranded off-road or require an emergency battery boost.

Additional benefits are planned for future implementation. These include new driving modes, opportunities for community gatherings, and exclusive in-cabin content.

Membership Details and Cost

Every newly purchased Rivian vehicle will initially include a 12-month complimentary subscription to the membership service.

Following the initial period, continued access to the program’s benefits will require a paid subscription. The specific pricing for the service has not yet been announced, and further details have been requested from Rivian.
