ROAD TRIP TO MOAB OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS WITH RIVIAN R1S, MERCEDES G580, & HUMMER EV

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from Colorado to Moab, Utah, featuring the Rivian R1S, Mercedes G580 EQ, and Hummer EV. The reviewer highlights the significant range differences between the vehicles, with the Rivian R1S achieving an impressive 380 miles in a previous test (though expected to be less with all-terrain tires), the Hummer EV around 290 miles, and the G580 at 230 miles. The G580 is praised for its off-road capability and luxury, though its software and price point ($187,000) are noted drawbacks. The Hummer EV's "WTF mode" and convertible features are highlighted, but its software is criticized as laggy and in need of updates. The Rivian R1S is presented as a strong all-rounder, praised for its efficiency, comfortable ride, and advanced infotainment system, despite having a smaller battery than the Hummer. The video also touches on the challenges of EV charging infrastructure and navigation systems, particularly in mountainous terrain. Overall, the Rivian R1S emerges as a highly capable and efficient option for this type of journey.
