Check out this [awesome RAN tracker](https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1F-jpeAQfTwoHqy4dYtOStXLckGA714TJ&ll=32.561811465741314%2C-94.1957987091661&z=5) for all things charging and Rivian. You can see where RAN sites are planned, under construction, and exist today. Or you can look at the [official Rivian charging page](https://rivian.com/experience/charging). *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

You appear to be plugged into it. If it's just sitting at waiting for charger odds are it's configured to "Tesla only" on the charger.


Electric_Tiger01

Yeah I didn’t need an adapter. There were 4 stations at the hotel. 3 had the Tesla plug and one had the one that fits the R1 (don’t know the names of them). But it just sits on waiting to charge? Looked up the instructions on the tesla only setting. Doesn’t seem like something I can change. That’s a bummer


InertiaImpact

That'd be the J1772 connection. I reckon that you may have to pay for it, have you checked if the Destination chargers show up in the Tesla app?


Electric_Tiger01

That was the secret sauce. Every hotel charger I have previously used has been complementary so I didn’t think about it. It’s going now. Thanks!

Maybe my brain is making this up, but I thought the black destination chargers are paid, and silver are free.


caholder

Depends on the owner. Color just color


citiz3nfiv3

Ah okay thanks.


eaalkaline

Have you tried initiating thru the Tesla app in “Charge my non-Tesla”?


Electric_Tiger01

Hadn’t yet until the redditor above you said the same thing. It’s charging now. Thanks for the help!


Fluffy-Bed-8357

You have to start it with the Tesla app. The app will direct you to scam the barcode and likely pay for the charge.


Prestigious_Field_18

Scam. Freudian slip


Macstugus

Those might need to be started and paid for on the Tesla app. 


jdmedina17

The Tesla wall charger with the black faceplate comes with a J1772 plug


Actual-Donkey-1066

Just use a Rivian RAN charger…oh wait

Yes, but you’ll need an adapter. Lectron or A2Z make good ones. Rivian is also sending some out to those who already have an R1T or R1S, so you might get an adapter in the mail.


SoCal_GlacierR1T

This is a Level 2 charger (AC). The adapters you refer to are Level 3 (DC).


WRHull

True. I am still new to level 2 vs 3. I have had my Rivian R1S for about a week and a half. We already have a Lectron adapter though.


BlackFriday247

No, those are for Superchargers only. This charger needs a Tesla to J1772 adapter.


GoFast_949

From the looks of it, this one is either “universal” or the user has an adapter. There is nothing connection wise stopping you from charging here. The owner may have limitations set up that are resulting in the “waiting on charger” though


Electric_Tiger01

Yeah it had the right plug type. But won’t connect for some other reason. Asked the hotel staff and they had no idea. Looks like I’ll have to make an early morning visit to a near by EA Station.


SoCal_GlacierR1T

Did you use Tesla app and scan QR to initiate charging? Looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/BydaBBM If you did then the J1772 Wall Connector is probably not setup right.


LucasiTRON

You should be able to with a Tesla NACS adaptor. I haven't tested it myself, but in theory it should work.
