RivianTrackr Hangouts Episode 5: Christian Selig Talks R1S, Tesla, and EV Life in Canada

In this episode of RivianTrackr Hangouts, I chat with iOS developer Christian Selig — creator of the beloved Apollo app for Reddit and Pixel Pals. Christian lives all the way out in Nova Scotia, where Rivian doesn’t officially sell vehicles, but that didn’t stop him from getting an R1S.

We talk about the long road (literally) to owning his Rivian, what it was like transitioning from a 2018 Tesla Model 3, and what EV charging infrastructure looks like in eastern Canada. We also dive into EV politics up north, the state of electrification in Canada, and some fun nerdy EV talk along the way.
