Los Angeles to Phoenix in a Rivian: a sample plan on I-10
374 miles of I-10 across the desert, the drive Southern California owners make for a weekend in Arizona, about 6 h 20 min including charging. Leaving at 90% the sample plan stops twice: the Indio fast chargers at mile 126 (45% to 90%, about 26 minutes, NACS adapter) and a slower 62 kW charger at a dealership in Buckeye at mile 342 (12% to 26%, about 28 minutes), arriving with about 15%. That second stop is what the simple planner picks, not a recommendation. Summer heat lowers range; the sample plan does not model it, and with your own Rivian connected Rivolt adjusts for the forecast weather along the route. Every figure is an estimate for the sample truck.
374 mi, 5 h 25 min driving, 2 charging stops (54 min). About $25.75 to $37.03 for 1 of 2 fast-charging stops (estimate, typical price seen by DCFC Tracker, Oct 2026); the price at the other 1 is shown at the charger.
