Rivian Unveils New Charger Design, Opens Adventure Network To Other EVs
Electric vehicle maker Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) has revealed a new charger design that will open its Rivian Adventure Network (RAN) to a wider range of EVs later this year.
电动汽车制造商里维安汽车公司（纳斯达克股票代码：RIVN）公布了一项新的充电器设计，该设计将在今年晚些时候向更广泛的电动汽车开放其Rivian Adventure Network（RAN）。
Expanding Accessibility: In a press release, Rivian announced plans to make the RAN accessible to all compatible EVs through the new charger design. These chargers will cater to a broader range of vehicles by featuring compatibility with both 400-volt and 800-volt battery packs, utilizing CCS connectors, and offering support for the North American Charging Standard (NACS).
扩大可及性：在新闻稿中，Rivian宣布计划通过新的充电器设计使所有兼容的电动汽车都能使用RAN。这些充电器兼容 400 伏和 800 伏电池组，利用 CCS 连接器，并支持北美充电标准 (NACS)，可满足更广泛的车辆需求。
While an approved adapter will be initially needed for vehicles using Tesla's NACS chargers, Rivian intends to introduce native NACS charging support through a future hardware update.
虽然使用特斯拉NACS充电器的车辆最初需要经过批准的适配器，但Rivian打算通过未来的硬件更新引入原生NACS充电支持。
Commitment To Infrastructure Expansion: "Rivian exists to address two specific needs, the electrification of our transportation system and supporting the transition of our power grid to carbon-free energy sources," said Paul Frey, Rivian's Vice President of Battery, Charging, and Adventure Products.
对基础设施扩张的承诺：“Rivian的存在是为了满足两个特定需求，即交通系统的电气化和支持我们的电网向无碳能源的过渡，” Rivian电池、充电和冒险产品副总裁保罗·弗雷说。

All new RAN stations will be built with the next-generation chargers, and existing sites will be retrofitted with the new hardware. Additionally, the company prioritizes installing pull-through charging stalls at new locations whenever feasible, ensuring convenient access for vehicles towing trailers.
所有新的RAN站都将使用下一代充电器建造，现有站点将使用新硬件进行改造。此外，该公司优先考虑在可行的情况下在新地点安装直通式充电站，确保拖车的车辆可以方便地进入。
Why It Matters: The updated hardware design allows Rivian to leverage funding from the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, along with additional state and utility programs focused on supporting EV charging infrastructure growth.
为何重要：更新的硬件设计使Rivian能够利用来自美国国家电动汽车基础设施（NEVI）计划的资金，以及其他专注于支持电动汽车充电基础设施增长的州和公用事业计划。
This development comes after Rivian previously advised its drivers against using third-party adapters at Tesla Superchargers. Rivian vehicles utilize a Combined Charging System (CCS) port, requiring an adapter for compatibility with Tesla's Supercharger network, which uses NACS. News emerged in March 2024 suggesting Rivian vehicles had achieved compatibility with Tesla's Superchargers.
这一事态发展是在 Rivian 此前建议其司机不要在特斯拉增压站使用第三方适配器之后发生的。Rivian 车辆使用组合充电系统 (CCS) 端口，需要适配器才能与使用 NACS 的特斯拉增压器网络兼容。2024年3月出现的消息表明，Rivian汽车已实现与特斯拉增压器的兼容性。
