Rivian’s Hamptons Charging Outpost
Rivian’s Hamptons Charging Outpost is its first combination charging site-lounge on the East Coast.
The site features six fast chargers, including a trailer-friendly pull-through charger, and is open 24/7 to CCS- and NACS-equipped EVs.
“Guests can enjoy a relaxing lounge with complimentary coffee, curated snacks and merchandise, an outdoor kids’ play area and reading nook,” Rivian says.
The Hamptons Hub
A little over a week after the New York Post named Rivian “the it car of the Hamptons,” the electric-vehicle startup is expanding its presence with a new Rivian Charging Outpost. This location offers a more upscale experience than typical gas station or highway rest stop stops.
Rivian’s Charging Outposts are a growing trend in the EV industry. They provide amenities like snacks, coffee, restrooms, and waiting areas to enhance the charging experience for drivers. This is a significant upgrade from the often basic charging stations found elsewhere.
The latest outpost is located in Southampton, New York, at 1 Montauk Highway. It’s a 2,000-square-foot facility with six fast chargers, including the trailer-friendly option, and welcomes all EV drivers, not just Rivian owners. This marks the first Charging Outpost on the East Coast.
Amenities and Atmosphere
Rivian’s Hamptons location aims to reflect the area’s relaxed coastal vibe. It’s housed in a classic cedar shingle building and is conveniently located near popular Hamptons destinations like the Parrish Art Museum.
The outpost offers a comfortable space for drivers to take a break while charging. Amenities include a lounge area with complimentary coffee, a selection of snacks and merchandise, and a dedicated outdoor play area for children.
The Future of EV Charging
Rivian’s approach to charging infrastructure aligns with the broader industry trend of providing a more complete and enjoyable experience for EV drivers. By incorporating amenities and a welcoming atmosphere, these Charging Outposts are helping to alleviate some of the range anxiety associated with electric vehicles.
I’m Rohan Mehta, the voice behind KhelRe—a trusted and steadily growing blog dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs) in India. With over five years of experience as a tech and automotive blogger, I turned my frustrations with owning an EV into a mission: to help others make more intelligent choices in this fast-evolving world of electric mobility.
I’ve been an early adopter of EV technology—I repurchased my first electric scooter in 2019. That experience opened my eyes to both the promises and the pitfalls of this new mode of transport. From slow charging times and range anxiety to misleading specs and hidden costs, I’ve faced it all. But instead of walking away, I decided to write about it.
That’s how KhelRe was born—a no-nonsense, hands-on blog where I share practical, real-world reviews of EV cars, bikes, and scooters. I break down features, range, performance, and pricing from a user-first perspective. I take pride in simplifying complex tech into clear, valuable insights—offering tips, ownership stories, and advice you won’t find in flashy press releases or sales brochures.
Whether you’re a first-time EV buyer or just a curious auto enthusiast, my goal is to help you navigate the EV landscape with confidence. My motto: “EV knowledge should come from experience, not just brochures.”
When I’m not test-driving the latest e-scooter or comparing charging networks, you’ll probably find me tinkering with my garage EV setup, chatting with fellow enthusiasts online, or sipping chai while writing my next blog post from a cosy local café.
