TFLtruck on YouTube currently has a Rivian. They were timing a 20-80% recharge at a common Colorado fast charger and it took 42 minutes. That gave them 160 miles of added range. It wasn't the time that caught my attention but the cost of the charge. I think it was 82 kw and .35 per kw. So $28.70 to go 160 miles. Now an ecoboost F150 will pretty easily go 160 miles on 6.4 gallons of $3.50 per gallon unleaded or $22.40.
