Blog Rivian Gets Range Rating of 316 Miles for R1T Pickup

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has posted official range estimates for the Rivian’s all-electric pickup and sport-utility vehicle. 

According to a posting on the agency’s website, the R1T pickup truck has an official EPA range of 314 miles, while its R1T SUV received a rating of 316 miles. Rivian has promised at least 300 miles of range.

The “Launch edition” of the R1T pickup and R1S SUV will have a 135-kWh battery pack. Future trim packages will also include the “large pack” battery. Rivian plans a future “Max pack” that will push range over 400 miles.

While pickups are among the most popular vehicles in the U.S., there has yet to be a competitive electric pickup option. With deliveries for Rivian beginning this month, the startup automaker will have the first compelling option on the market.

So Sandy Munroe will NOT be tearing down an R1T. He and his wife liked the truck so much they've decided to keep it instead!

Kyle from Out of Spec had a similar reaction, after testing the vehicle for a week he turned around and decided to buy one, glad to hear Rivian has produced something that's able to generate excitement even among those who are EV veterans! Hopefully they can step up production in the near future to meet demand.

Yes let’s hope so since I reserved the cheap model not sure when I might take delivery it’s going to be a few years.
