Rivian R1S Home Charger Requirements by Trim
All 3 trims need the same thing at home: a 48A charger on a 60A circuit reaches full speed on every one.

Every R1S trim, side by side
From each trim's onboard charger rating, not a generic EV number. Pick your trim to run the assessment with it pre-selected.
| Trim | Years | Onboard charger | Draw at 240V | Full-speed install | Empty to full | Range per hour | Range / battery | Check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Large Pack | 2022–2026 | 11.5 kW | ~48A | 48A charger, 60A circuit | 11.7 hrs | ~26 mi | 320 mi / 135 kWh | Check panel |
| Max Pack | 2022–2026 | 11.5 kW | ~48A | 48A charger, 60A circuit | 15.7 hrs | ~25 mi | 400 mi / 180 kWh | Check panel |
| Standard Pack | 2022–2026 | 11.5 kW | ~48A | 48A charger, 60A circuit | 9.1 hrs | ~26 mi | 260 mi / 105 kWh | Check panel |
Draw = onboard charger kW x 1000 / 240V. Empty to full = battery kWh / charger kW. Range per hour = charger kW x the trim's efficiency. DC fast peaks: Large Pack 215 kW, Max Pack 215 kW, Standard Pack 215 kW.
Range added per hour, by charger size
Miles added per hour of charging at common home charger settings. Past a trim's onboard rating a bigger charger adds nothing, so those cells are marked.
| Charger | Large Pack | Max Pack | Standard Pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16A (3.8 kW) | ~9 mi | ~8 mi | ~9 mi |
| 24A (5.8 kW) | ~13 mi | ~13 mi | ~13 mi |
| 32A (7.7 kW) | ~18 mi | ~17 mi | ~18 mi |
| 40A (9.6 kW) | ~22 mi | ~21 mi | ~22 mi |
| 48A (11.5 kW) | ~26 mi | ~25 mi | ~26 mi |
| 8-hour overnight, full speed | ~208 mi | ~200 mi | ~208 mi |
What this means for your panel
The circuit in the table is what lets your trim charge at its full rating. A smaller circuit still works and charges slower. Whether your panel has room for the circuit you want depends on everything else already on it: that is the actual assessment.
Connector: NACS. NACS (North American Charging Standard, originally Tesla's plug) is now the connector most new EVs are shipping with for both home Level 2 and public DC fast charging.
Full Rivian R1S charger installation guideRivian R1S charging questions
What size circuit does a Rivian R1S need for home charging?
Every R1S trim reaches its full home charging speed with a 48A charger on a 60A circuit. Whether your panel has room for that circuit depends on everything else already on it.
How many amps does a Rivian R1S draw on Level 2?
48A at 240V, depending on trim. That is the onboard charger rating (11.5 kW) divided by 240 volts.
How long does a Rivian R1S take to charge at home?
About 9.1 to 15.7 hours from empty to full at each trim's maximum Level 2 speed: battery size divided by onboard charger rating. Most nights you only refill what you drove.
Do all R1S trims charge at the same speed at home?
For 2026 models, yes: every R1S trim listed here uses a 11.5 kW onboard charger, so the home install is the same.
