BeverageStation Mini Kit

The OpenSourceEV BeverageStation Mini for the Rivian R1S and R1T is our latest way to add drink storage to your truck or SUV. It holds TWO beverages of your choice within easy reach. They remain unobtrusive and easy to install in under 60 seconds.

Overview

This smaller BeverageStation mounts on the passenger side of the lower center console opening, similar to where the Aux Cupholder Center Console Mount would install. It allows for storage of two beverages of your choice - one in the passenger footwell, and now one IN the center console area. The mounting location is customizable so it will not impact with operation of the lower drawer or Camp Speaker.

Construction

BeverageStation Mini is comprised of four individual parts:

1. One dual-sided clip that installs onto the wall of the lower console area. It rotates into position and locks in between where the two plastic trim pieces are joined.
2. Two clamps to hold your beverage of choice in place. Unlike the Aux Cupholders, these are rings and have no bottoms. The bottom of the beverage sits on the liner in the footwell or lower center console itself.
3. One rotation blocking insert that installs under the inner clamp. This hold everything securely in place after installation regardless of which side holds beverages.

The BeverageStation Mini has two size options:

Standard
79MM wide. This size is designed to hold most common drink sizes such as cans, 20oz plastic bottles, most fast-food drinks, and 20ish oz vacuum insulated cups. Keep in mind that cans should only be held in the inner mounting location due to the lower floor in the passenger footwell.

Large
92MM wide. This size is designed for common 40z water bottles and mugs. This size fits the recently introduced Stanley insulated beverage holder and most wider bottles.

Each version flexes and has a cutout down the side so you can insert beverage holders that have a handle on them. Before purchasing, we strongly recommend measuring the beverages you're looking to install. 

Installation:

Rotate the clip onto position on the wall of the passenger side of the lower center console. Make sure that the small protrusion fits in between the seam of the inner and outer plastic wall. Install the two clamps - they are both frictions fit and will have a small click when inserted. Insert the rotation mount underneath slot that the inside-the-center-console clamp slid into in order to hold things in place.

Other Considerations:

• Clamps are somewhat flexible but bottles much larger than them should not be inserted.
• Cups from the Aux Cupholder range will mount on the portion in the passenger footwell but will not mount on slot inside the lower center console.
