Quick verdict

The Rivian Wall Charger is a good-looking, capable 48A charger for Rivian owners, but it is a poor local-first pick: there is no Home Assistant integration for the charger itself. The closest you get is the unofficial Rivian HACS integration, which reads the vehicle's charging state through Rivian's cloud - not the EVSE's local telemetry. Rate it cloud-only and Rivian-locked.

Standout: A clean, Rivian-matched 48A Level 2 charger - but its Home Assistant story is weak and cloud-only.

Why it stands out

  • Solid 48A (11.5kW) hardwired Level 2 charger that pairs cleanly with Rivian R1T/R1S
  • Good build quality and a tidy app experience within Rivian's own ecosystem
  • If you run the unofficial Rivian HACS integration you can at least see/limit charging from the vehicle side

Reasons to hesitate

  • No dedicated Home Assistant integration for the charger hardware - you cannot read the EVSE's own power/energy locally
  • What HA visibility exists is vehicle-side, unofficial, and fully cloud-dependent on Rivian's account API
  • Not a local-first device; effectively a closed, Rivian-only ecosystem charger

Best for

  • Rivian owners who want a matched, attractive 48A home charger and are fine with app-only control

Avoid if

  • You want local, vendor-neutral energy monitoring and charge control in Home Assistant
  • You do not own a Rivian

Privacy and local-control notes

There is no first-party or community Home Assistant integration for the Rivian Wall Charger hardware itself. The only HA visibility comes indirectly through the unofficial Rivian (HACS) integration, which authenticates to Rivian's cloud account and reports the vehicle's charging state (plugged in, charging, charge limit) - not the wall charger's own telemetry. Everything routes through Rivian's cloud.

Home Assistant support: not currently recommended · integration path: No dedicated charger integration; charging state is only visible vehicle-side via the unofficial Rivian (HACS) cloud integration.

Buying reality check

Price notes: Sold directly by Rivian (rivian.com). No Amazon ASIN used to avoid third-party listings.
