Best Home EV Charger for the Rivian R1T (2024)
The R1T’s 11.5 kW AC ceiling meets big-battery reality: the 135 kWh Large pack takes about 12 hours from empty even at full rate, so don’t undersize the charger. Rivian’s own Wall Charger is solid, but any 48 A J1772 unit performs identically.
The Rivian R1T charges at up to 11.5 kW on AC through its J1772 port, so the ideal home charger delivers at least 48 A.

Frequently asked questions
What size home charger does the Rivian R1T need?
The Rivian R1T's onboard AC charger tops out at 11.5 kW (about 48 A at 240 V). A charger rated at 48 A or more fully saturates it — extra amps beyond that add no speed.
How long does the Rivian R1T take to charge at home?
From empty to full at its maximum 11.5 kW AC rate, the Rivian R1T's 135 kWh battery takes roughly 11.7 hours. Typical daily top-ups are much shorter.
Does the Rivian R1T need an adapter for home charging?
The Rivian R1T has a J1772 port, the standard for home AC chargers — most chargers plug in directly, while NACS chargers need an adapter.
