Rivian Cable Jacket Degradation

Rivian charger cable insulation shows cracks, cuts, or UV damage

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Prolonged sun exposure, Mechanical abrasion from dragging, Chemical exposure (oils, solvents), Repeated sharp bending near handle or charger

Safety first: Damaged insulation can expose live conductors. Stop using the charger immediately.

Step 1 – Inspect full length: Examine the cable from charger to handle for any cracks, cuts, or flattened sections.
Step 2 – Avoid temporary fixes: Do not tape over damaged sections as a permanent solution.
Step 3 – Replace cable: Arrange for replacement of the entire Rivian charge cable and handle assembly.

Operating with a compromised cable is a serious shock and fire hazard.
