The Rivian R1S accepts up to 11.5 kW from a home charger. The charge port varies by model year; check the charge port door before buying. Adapters cover either direction. 114 of the 234 chargers in the catalog reach that rate, and every one of them charges this vehicle at exactly the same speed: a more powerful charger will not charge this car faster. The numbers that still separate them are verified price, cable length, and warranty.
A full charge costs the same on any Level 2 charger: energy is energy. The figure above uses the national average residential rate (EIA, May 2026); the charging cost calculator has your state's number.

Lowest standby draw
Each list is named for its metric and drawn from all 234 chargers in the catalog, priced or not. Standby draw comes from ENERGY STAR test data and is published for 117 of them.
Vehicle figures come from EPA fuel-economy data (2024-2026); the maximum AC rate is verified against the manufacturer's own documentation. Charger specifications follow the same methodology as every page on this site.
What a full charge costs
Electricity is the whole running cost, and it is the number that varies most by where you live. A full 108 to 166 kWh at the Rivian R1S, priced three ways:
| Rate | Cents per kWh | Full charge |
|---|---|---|
| Idaho, the cheapest state | 12.35 | $13.30 to $20.50 |
| National average | 18.44 | $19.86 to $30.61 |
| Hawaii, the most expensive | 52.00 | $56.00 to $86.32 |
Rates are the EIA residential series, May 2026. Your own utility and any time-of-use plan decide the real figure.
The circuit this car needs
A home charger is a continuous load, so the National Electrical Code sizes both the breaker and the conductor at 125 percent of its draw. A charger matched to this car's 11.5 kW ceiling pulls 48 amps at 240 volts, which needs a 60 amp circuit rather than the 48 amp one the arithmetic alone suggests. That gap is where most installation quotes go wrong.
Of the 234 chargers in the catalog here, 114 meet or beat the car's ceiling. Going above it changes nothing for this vehicle, though it leaves headroom for a future one that draws more.
Rivian R1S home charging questions
- How long does it take to charge a Rivian R1S at home?
- The Rivian R1S accepts up to 11.5 kW of AC, so a charger that meets or beats that fills it as fast as the car allows. A full charge draws 108 to 166 kWh from the wall, which is about 9.4-14.4 h on the fastest compatible charger in this list. A charger rated above 11.5 kW does not charge it any faster.
- What size charger does a Rivian R1S need?
- Match the car's 11.5 kW ceiling and stop there. 114 of the 234 chargers in the catalog in this database reach it. Anything more powerful is spare capacity for a future car, not extra speed for this one.
- Which connector does the Rivian R1S use?
- The charge port varies by model year; check the charge port door before buying. Adapters cover either direction.
- How much does it cost to charge a Rivian R1S at home?
- About $19.86 to $30.61 for a full charge at the national average residential rate of 18.44 cents per kWh (EIA, May 2026). Your own rate decides the real figure, and it varies by more than a factor of four between states.
- How were these chargers chosen?
- Only chargers with a verified price appear; ranked by charge rate on this car, then by that price; at most two per brand; ten rows at most. Nothing here is an editorial pick. Nothing is ranked by commission and no charger is called best. Every figure is verified against a primary source or left blank.
