Dual Motor Rivian R1S exceeds brand's range estimates.
Rivian just recently announced that production of its Dual Motor R1T and R1S models was slated to begin this month. Up until this point, every Rivian model sold to the public has utilized the brand’s quad-motor setup, which is constructed from components sourced from Bosch. In an effort to increase profitability long term, Rivian has been working to develop its own bespoke drive unit package for some time.
The SUV was fitted with the 135-kWh battery. When equipped with the optional 20-inch wheels and all-terrain tires, the electric SUV can do up to 306 miles per charge, according to the documents. That figure jumps up to 341 miles per charge when you opt for the 22-inch wheels wrapped in street tires. The smaller 21-inch rollers bring the best range figure however, clocking in at 351 miles per charge.
