Rivian No Longer Includes Portable Charger With 2026 R1T and R1S

If you’re planning to order a 2026 Rivian R1T or R1S, here’s something to keep in mind: Rivian is no longer including the Portable Charger with new vehicles.

Previously, every Rivian came with a Portable Charger that let you charge at home using either a standard 120V outlet or a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet. For 2026, that charger is now a separate $400 accessory, regardless of whether you choose the NACS or J1772 variant.

This change applies across the lineup, even on the high-end Quad-Motor trims. And that’s a bit surprising, especially considering how many accessories Rivian bundles with the Quad.

That said, there are still plenty of ways to charge at home. Rivian sells its own Wall Connector (also available in NACS or J1772), or you can go with any number of third-party wall chargers for faster and more reliable charging speeds. Just know that if you were expecting to plug in right out of the box with a Portable Charger, you’ll now need to add one to your cart, or start planning your charging setup another way.

For many buyers, this won’t be a dealbreaker, but it’s still a notable change that shifts a bit more of the setup responsibility back onto the customer.
