The new, Dual-Motor version of the Rivian R1S turns out to be noticeably more efficient than the more powerful QM version. Its range might exceed 350 miles.
The 20-inch wheels and all-terrain tires have the biggest impact on the driving range of the vehicle, as it drops to 307 miles . That's a substantial 45-mile difference , compared to the default 21-inch road tires. All of the numbers are valid for Dual-Motor and Dual-Motor Performance versions of the car.
The recent update to the EPA's website brings us also the new range rating for the Rivian R1S Quad-Motor with 20-inch all-terrain wheels,It's worth noting that the Rivian R1S Dual-Motor range numbers mirror the ones for the Rivian R1T Dual-Motor pickup, which we described yesterdayAs you can see, the more powerful and more capable Quad-Motor versions usually have about a tenth less driving range, which is due to the higher energy consumption of the powertrain. The Quad-Motor is also more expensive than Dual-Motor, which should be considered when buying.
When it comes to energy consumption, including charging losses, the EPA rating for the default Rivian R1S DM Large Pack with 21-inch wheels is 78 MPGe: about 432 watt-hours per mile. The use of larger wheels will increase energy consumption by a few percent, while the switch to all-terrain wheels will increase energy consumption by almost 15 percent.2023 Rivian R1S DM/Perf.
