I TOOK THE RIVIAN R1T UP THE HIGHEST PAVED ROAD IN NORTH AMERICA! HERE'S THE EFFICIENCY ON MT. EVANS

EV Channels Review

The Rivian R1T successfully conquered North America's highest paved road, Mt. Evans, demonstrating impressive capability and comfort despite the challenging ascent. The reviewer highlighted the truck's excellent air suspension, which smoothed out a particularly rough, unpaved final section of the road. While the climb significantly impacted efficiency, averaging 0.95 miles per kWh, the return journey showcased the benefits of regenerative braking, achieving a remarkable 3 miles per kWh and recouping 7 kWh. The vehicle's estimated range upon arrival at the summit was slightly conservative, which the reviewer appreciated. A notable point was the truck's inability to calculate range estimations offline, displaying a red exclamation mark instead of data. Overall, the R1T proved itself a capable and comfortable vehicle for extreme elevation changes, with the reviewer confirming they would undertake such a trip again.
