Impromptu Rivian Q&A By Solar Company

In this video I had an impromptu interview with members of a solar panel installation company that wanted to know more about the Rivian R1T and R1S.

As someone that's owned EVs for over 10 years now (and am a current R1T owner), these are my favorite interactions with non-EV owners! I've noticed that people get more excited about my Rivian than any of my Teslas. It's great!

I love having the opportunity to help educate people that are interested in EVs. Thanks for commenting!

Duke- I heard your comment on lawnmowers. So true, very expensive. BUT, I have become an advocate. I bought a Greenwotks CZ60 R for $13000, greatly reduced. It is a big,capable commercial machine. We have ground mount 40 (420 at ea.) panel solar system, so mow the grass with sunshine. Much quieter & emisión-free. Lawn care in the US is estimated to be 5% of our carbon emission output… and, mowing equipment does not have emission control devices as do automobiles. I would advise you to go as big as possible with your solar installation, because you can convert two more and more electrical equipment! Thanks as always for your great contact. -Jon in WV

Thanks for the information! Did it qualify for a tax credit?

[@averillvision]

From what I have read, the Greenworks commercial mowers do qualify for a tax credit if you are a commercial lawn business...or perhaps an estate run as a business. I am neither, so did not try to apply.

Awesome.

[@thedukeofmanville]

Glad you think so!

I live in Florida and the FPL rates are regulated so they don't change much. At home it's $.14 kwh. I just signed up for their at home charging plan for $31a month unlimited off peak.
Had solar sellers stop by my house but had to give them the boot, very shifty..

[@thedukeofmanville]

$31 a month is awesome!

[@JMacGyver1]

I’m surprised there are people who just don’t seem to know much about Rivian’s, let alone EV’s in general.

[@thedukeofmanville]

Yes, most people know very little about EVs in the Midwest.
