EV Channels Review
The reviewer embarks on a 300-mile round trip from Charlotte to Raleigh in their Rivian R1T for a Rivian Stories meetup. The journey highlights the R1T's efficiency, achieving an impressive 2.17 miles per kilowatt-hour on all-terrain tires, exceeding the reviewer's lifetime average. A significant portion of the trip was conducted in 'conserve' mode, which the reviewer advocates for its range benefits. Charging at an Electrify America station presented challenges, with some chargers down and others slow to activate, though ultimately a functional charger was found. The reviewer praises the convenience of gas station-style charging locations. A key critique is Rivian's limited lane-keeping assist functionality, which is restricted to mapped roads, making unmapped highway driving less convenient. Despite this, the reviewer expresses overall satisfaction with the R1T's comfort, efficiency, and performance, concluding the day with 11% charge remaining after 311 miles.
