Rivian Roamer Plus Launching Soon With Privacy-First Trip Tracking
Big news, our friend Chad over at Rivian Roamer is rolling out Roamer Plus starting Monday, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you all. I’ve been lucky enough to help test some of these features behind the scenes, and now they’re finally ready for everyone to try.
As for the rollout, invites will start going out Monday in waves based on the order people signed up. So if you sign up and link your Rivian account early, you’ll move up the line and get access sooner.
So what’s Roamer Plus all about? Think of it as taking the already-awesome Rivian Roamer experience and cranking it up a notch. You’ll get:
- Maps of every trip you take
- Charging curves so you can see exactly how your Rivian charges
- Efficiency insights to help squeeze out more range
- Lifetime stats that build with every adventure
As soon as you sign up and securely connect your Rivian account, you’ll start unlocking:
- Every drive over 1 mile with a detailed route
- Full charging session breakdowns with power curves
- Energy use patterns and long-term trends
If you haven’t tried Rivian Roamer yet, it’s basically the community-built companion app for your Rivian. It’s not run by Rivian, but by owners who wanted better insights and tools to go with their trucks and SUVs.
Roamer Plus costs just $4.99/month, but if you’re not ready to pay, the free version still gives you live vehicle data, software update notifications, a basic dashboard, and even fun extras like birthday emails for your Rivian.
One of the most important things to know about Rivian Roamer is that it was built with privacy and security at the core. When you connect your Rivian account, it uses token-based authentication so your password is never stored. Just as important, your data stays yours, nothing is ever shared with third parties.
One of the most common requests Chad has heard from the community is for a dedicated mobile app. The good news, he’s already working on one. It’s still early, but the plan is to bring the same experience you get today straight to your phone in a cleaner, easier-to-use app.
Want to give it a try? You can sign up free right here.
And just to be fully transparent, Chad hooked me up with a free trial of Roamer Plus as a thank you for helping him test things out. That said, my take on it is completely my own, and honestly, I think it’s a fantastic tool that a lot of you are going to love once it starts rolling out Monday.
