Rivian R1T Tested by Edmunds

Alistair Weaver of Edmunds puts the Rivian R1T through as many paces as he could in 48 hours, and comes away impressed! While it wasn’t quite as quick 0-60 mph as Rivian advertises, they were able to beat the EPA estimated range by 3 miles, in real world testing, which is quite an achievement. Other high points include the overall design, and impressive build quality considering the vehicle he is driving is still technically a prototype. Rivian is a company that ElectricMitten has been watching for quite awhile, and I cannot wait to have a go in one myself.

“The Rivian R1T is a brand-new all-electric pickup truck set to launch in late 2021. With the Tesla truck and the electric Ford F-150 Lightning still months away, the 2022 Rivian R1T is the first electric pickup truck to hit the market. In this video, Alistair Weaver from Edmunds brings you an exclusive, independent, instrumented test of the Rivian electric truck. Alistair puts the R1T through a variety of performance tests, including a 0-60 test that Rivian claims its electric truck can do in 3 seconds. We also subject the Rivian to the world-famous Edmunds EV range test and size up how well its range numbers hold up to our testing and how they compare to other EVs. The experts at Edmunds are excited to bring you this very special review of the 2022 Rivian R1T electric pickup truck.”
