EV maker Rivian to adopt Tesla’s charging standard

Electric vehicle maker Rivian said it has agreed to adopt Tesla’s charging standard, giving customers access to the biggest U.S. charging network and adding momentum to Tesla’s bid to set the industry standard.

Customers of Rivian, which has its own small network of fast chargers, will be able to access 12,000 Tesla Superchargers with adapters in the United States and Canada as early as spring 2024, the Irvine, California-based company said. Rivian also said it would make a Tesla-style charging port standard on its vehicles, starting in 2025.
