Electric vehicle routing is an option in Apple Maps and I'm assuming in Google Maps as well. A Rivian app could handle the rest. I'm pretty sure Apple would be extremely happy to figure out a way forward.

Important to note as well that you can technically support CarPlay and Android Auto just for the infotainment and keep the map function in-house running along with it.

Not necessarily. I drive an EV and don't have a charger at home so I rely on public infrastructure exclusively.

Day to day it or (my the usage patterns) don't change much and after the firstof when and where charging would fit in my schedule (usually while getting groceries each week).

For people who drive a lot of different routes or on vacation an dedicated EV mapping feature is nice but so far A Better Route Planer worked just fine (my car has no usable native solution).
