It looks like Rivian is going to also be building a charging network. Rivian is building its own EV charging network, but with an adventurous twist – TechCrunch The part that excites me, and I wish more charging networks took into consideration, is the 'off-highway' locations. "Rivian is adding a second layer to its electric vehicle charging game plan that’s atypical of the industry. The company will set up dozens of EV chargers designed to power up its electric vehicles while parked at adventurous destinations, from mountain bike and hiking trails to kayaking spots and maybe even near popular climbing crags." Being able to charge the car while I'm on a 3+ hour hike could be really helpful. The hard part is those places rarely have power run to them (maybe for a street light or something in the parking lot) and almost certainly don't have more than the bare minimum.
Article mentions its CCS but it can be software locked to Rivian only vehicles. Sounds nice at first but too many incompatible stations will only lead to confusion.
I'd say Tesla is the first to blame for that kind of behavior. At least Rivian are using a public standard.
Good luck getting electrical service to these locations... Lots of trailheads don't have electrical service. And those that do, it's barely enough to light up the outhouse. Don't get me wrong. I'd love for there to be more L2 chargers within state/national parks. But the cost of running new electrical service dozens of miles is probably prohibitive. Plus, lots of these places don't have cell service, so yet another wire needed to support billing.
