Rivian Scheduling / Timer Malfunction

Scheduled charging does not start at the programmed time, but manual charging works.

Possible Causes

Incorrect time zone or clock, conflicting schedules between the vehicle and charger, firmware bug in the scheduler, loss of internet time sync.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: This is a functional issue; no electrical work is required.

  • Step 1 – Verify time: In the Rivian app, confirm the charger’s time zone and current time are correct.
  • Step 2 – Simplify schedules: Disable all schedules on the vehicle and charger, then set a single, simple schedule on one device only (preferably the vehicle or the charger, not both).
  • Step 3 – Test start: Set a schedule a few minutes in the future and observe whether charging begins.

If scheduling remains unreliable, report the behavior to Rivian support; a firmware update or cloud-side fix may be required.
