RIVIAN - ELECTRIC ADVENTURE VEHICLE | FULLY CHARGED

EV Channels Review

The Fully Charged team provides an in-depth look at Rivian's R1S SUV and R1T pickup, highlighting their impressive capabilities and unique design philosophy. The reviewer is particularly struck by the vehicles' off-road prowess, enabled by a quad-motor AWD system with advanced torque vectoring and significant adjustable ground clearance (up to 360mm). The substantial 180 kWh battery pack promises over 400 miles of range, addressing range anxiety, and the vehicles boast a remarkable towing capacity of 11,000 lbs. Interior highlights include a spacious, durable, and luxurious cabin with natural materials, a unique stadium lighting signature, and practical features like a built-in torch and waterproof floor mats. Safety is emphasized with a 5-star rating and robust underbody protection. While pricing starts under $70,000 for the truck and $65,000 for the SUV (before discounts), the reviewer expresses significant positive surprise at the vehicle's overall quality and engineering, suggesting it punches well above its perceived class. Production is slated for late 2020.
