On September 3, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially announced the EPA range of two models under Rivian.
The R1T pickup, which will be delivered this month, has a maximum EPA range of about 505 kilometers (314 miles), and the other SUV has a maximum range of about 509 kilometers (316 miles).
Apart from the maximum range versions released this time, Rivian also provides the R1T with a “max pack” battery pack for $10,000, which will be equipped with a 180 kWh battery pack and may achieve a range of over 644 kilometers (400 miles).
The first R1T equipped with the “max pack” battery pack is scheduled to be delivered as early as January 2022 and will be used in the “Adventure” or “Explore” configurations.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the R1T can achieve a fuel efficiency of 73 MPGe in urban conditions, and a maximum range of about 518 kilometers (332 miles); in high-speed conditions, it can achieve a fuel efficiency of 65 MPGe and a maximum range of about 471 kilometers (293 miles).
The R1S can achieve a fuel efficiency of 74 MPGe and a range of about 533 kilometers (331 miles) in urban conditions, and a fuel efficiency of 66 MPGe and a range of about 476 kilometers (296 miles) in high-speed conditions.
The overall fuel efficiency of both cars is around 70 MPGe (miles per gallon gasoline equivalent), which is only slightly better than the worst Porsche Taycan Turbo S with 68 MPGe, and even more than three times that of similar gasoline pickups and SUVs.
However, we need to consider that the curb weight of the R1T is between 2,858-3,322 kilograms.🔗Information source: Green Car Reports
