1st International Rivian R1S Road Trip: NJ to Montreal for F1. Charging on Tesla, EA, and Evolve NY

We took our 6 month old Rivian R1S up across the border to Canada for the Canadian Grand Prix, crossing into another country for the first time ever in an EV. We didn't know what to expect with parking, charging, and payments and despite some challenges, we learned a ton and had a great trip. Come along for the first half, our drive up from NJ to Montreal in pouring rain in which we compared Tesla and EA / EvolveNY charging infrastructure, observe how much charging has changed along the I87 corridor in a few years since we got our first EV, and handle issues with charging in another country.
