Battery Temperature
The most requested feature is now live for R2 and Gen 1 R1 owners: battery temperature! On the dashboard, battery page and session pages. Now gain insights into how temperature impacted your session!
On the dashboard, you get the current pack temperature at a glance, with a color cue for whether the battery is cold, ideal, warm, or hot.
The battery page adds a cold-to-hot gauge with the current average and the spread between your coolest and warmest cell, so you can see how evenly the pack is sitting.
On your charging and drive sessions, temperature is drawn right on the chart as its own line, next to power, speed, and battery. This is where it gets interesting.
Temperature is one of the biggest hidden factors in how your Rivian charges and drives. A cold battery can't take a fast charge at full speed, which is why a DC fast charge often starts slow and ramps up as the pack warms. Near the top of the charge, the pack heats up from all that current and your Rivian eases the speed back to protect it. With the temperature line sitting right on the curve, those moments finally make sense. You can watch the pack warm up, watch the charge rate follow, and understand exactly why your session looked the way it did.
The same goes for drives. See how your battery temperature climbed on a long highway run or a spirited backroad, right alongside your speed and efficiency.
