PLUS: Rivian rolls out R2, and Tesla Roadster news—really!
If you have trouble reading this message, view it in abrowser.
Rivian took the wraps off the R2 this week, revealing its third consumer-aimed electric model after the R1T pickup and the R1S SUV. The R2 will sit below the R1S in Rivian's lineup when it arrives, offering a choice of two batteries, both of which will offer over 300 miles of range. The model will feature a structural battery pack and will offer SAE Level 3 capabilities, allowing for eyes-off operation thanks to 11 cameras and 5 radar sensors, in addition to other tech.
There's a pretty good chance that your next electric vehicle, Tesla or no, will plug in directly to J3400 rechargers. Will these charging station plugs be easy to find on a cross-country trip?
That's what the Biden administration's Department of Transportation is trying to find out with a new request for information (RFI) issued by its Federal Highway Administration this week.
The RFI announced Wednesday "focuses on the types of connectors used at federally funded EV chargers," the FHWA announced in a press release.

The wait is finally over and the next Dodge Charger is here.After almost two years of speculation and rumors, Dodge has pulled the sheets off the upcoming Charger models and spilled most of the important details.
Dodge is launching its next-gen Charger with the battery-electric Charger Daytona models, with the entry-level Charger Daytona R/T's two electric drive modules working together to send 456 hp to the tires. Scat Pack trims start out with 590 hp.
Feeding both is the same 100.5-kWh nickel cobalt aluminum battery pack, with power to all four wheels. According to Dodge, the R/T is expected to travel around 317 miles on a single charge, with the Scat Pack looking at 260 miles of range.
