RIVIAN R1T ROAD TRIP FROM ROANOKE, VA TO DALLAS, TX

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from Roanoke, VA to Dallas, TX in a 2022 Rivian R1T. The reviewer highlights generally positive experiences with the vehicle, praising its driving dynamics and technology. Charging performance was a mixed bag, with initial slow speeds attributed to cold weather and a cold-soaked battery, but speeds improved significantly once the battery warmed up, reaching over 200 kW at Tesla Superchargers and other DC fast chargers. The reviewer notes the convenience of various charging networks, including Rivian Adventure Network, Tesla Superchargers (using an adapter), and EVgo/GM Energy stations at Pilot Flying J locations. While the vehicle's efficiency was impacted by cold weather and rain, the reviewer found the Highway Assist feature to be very helpful. The trip was largely uneventful, with the reviewer looking forward to future legs of the journey and eventual delivery of a Tesla Cybertruck.
