Rivian has expanded its proprietary fast-charging network to more than 1,000 DC fast-charging ports across the United States, marking a new milestone in the company’s efforts to build out charging infrastructure for electric vehicle drivers.
According to data from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC), the Rivian Adventure Network (RAN) now operates more than 1,000 charging ports spread across 148 locations nationwide.
The milestone follows the opening of four additional sites during the past month, adding a total of 44 charging stalls to the network.
Expansion of Proprietary Charging Network
The Rivian Adventure Network was first announced in 2021 as part of the automaker’s strategy to support long-distance travel for owners of its electric vehicles.
Each charging location uses Rivian-designed DC fast chargers equipped with a single charging cable per stall. The network was initially developed exclusively for Rivian customers, although the company has since taken steps to broaden compatibility with evolving charging standards.
At present, 166 charging stalls across 50 locations are equipped with North American Charging Standard (NACS) connectors, according to the company.
Continued NACS Rollout
Rivian began retrofitting portions of its charging network with NACS connectors last year as the industry increasingly adopted Tesla’s charging standard.
The company previously indicated that a substantial share of its U.S. charging network would support NACS by the end of 2025. While the transition remains ongoing, Rivian said six Adventure Network sites now operate exclusively with NACS chargers.
The rollout coincides with the introduction of native NACS charging ports on newer Rivian models, including the upcoming R2 electric vehicle.
At other locations, NACS connectors are being added alongside existing Combined Charging System (CCS) infrastructure.
Focus on Reliability
Rivian said the charging network is fully integrated with its software ecosystem, allowing drivers to monitor charger availability through the Rivian mobile application and in-vehicle navigation system.
“By owning the hardware, software, and localized maintenance, we’ve maintained a 98% uptime across the network in 2025 and continue the push for reliability in 2026 and beyond,” the company said.
Long-Term Charging Ambitions
When Rivian unveiled the Adventure Network in 2021, the company outlined plans to deploy more than 3,500 DC fast chargers across over 600 locations in the United States and Canada.
The latest milestone represents continued progress toward that longer-term expansion strategy as automakers and charging providers invest in charging infrastructure to support growing electric vehicle adoption.
The buildout also comes amid increasing competition among charging networks in North America, where reliability, charging speed and compatibility have become key factors for EV drivers.
