EnergyHub and Rivian announced a partnership to expand access to utility EV programs for Rivian drivers across North America. EnergyHub and Rivian have partnered to expand access to utility electric vehicle (EV) programs for Rivian driver across North America. For Rivian drivers, this will enable new opportunities to discover and participate in utility EV programs. For utilities, the partnership will make it easier to recruit drivers and scale cost-effective managed charging programs that unlock electric vehicles as grid resources, driving a more reliable, affordable grid for everyone.
As more drivers electrify, EV managed charging plays a critical role in supporting utilities by aligning charging behavior with local grid conditions. Through the partnership, Rivian vehicles will be eligible for both passive and active managed charging programs. EnergyHub's EV managed charging technology enables dynamic load shaping, coordinating EV charging to deliver the energy drivers need while conforming to capacity constraints across the distribution network. This grid-aware approach helps protect infrastructure from the power plant to the garage.
As part of EnergyHub's broader Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform, this enhanced EV capability integrates alongside connected thermostats, batteries, and other flexible devices.
