Rivian has announced the official range of EPA for R1T and R1 first, and it is a healthy show for all-electric pickup trucks and SUVs. These numbers for the 2022 R1T launch edition and 2022 R1S launch edition, both with a “large package” battery car maker.

For a large R1T package, the official EPA number is 314 miles. It worked to 70 MPGE (Ecuara miles per gallon) combined, or 74 MPGE in the city and 66 MPGE on the highway.

The large R1S package is still a little better, with a total of 316 miles, although the MPGE number is actually slightly lower. This is rated at 69 MPGE combined, 73 MPGE in the city, and 65 MPGE on the highway.

The numbers match the estimated Rivian for EVS, which until now have been temporary. The EPA test cycle – which is usually more conservative than the WLTP cycle used elsewhere in the world – is, such as the estimated range of the internal combustion engine or efficiency, based on several core assumptions and will not be matched by each driver who finds themselves behind the wheel Rivian. However, it is a good starting point of comparison between EVs and rivals.

Ford 2022 F-150 Lightning, for example, is expected to start shipping in the spring next year. It hasn’t gotten his official EPA ranking, but Ford expects 230 miles from a standard range of batteries, or 300 miles from an extended extended optional version.

Cybertruck Tesla, meanwhile, further than the market is still; The initial production is now not expected until the end of 2022, with the production of volumes at the end of 2023. California car makers have suggested it will be able to be 250-500 + miles range, depending on the configuration.

Rivian will have another version of R1T and R1S in time, with various battery sizes. In January 2022, for example, he planned to offer R1T with a distance of more than 400 miles. This in the end also has a smaller electric pickup version – which will be cheaper overall, too – with a distance of 250+ miles.

Some time after the SUV R1S was launched, meanwhile, Rivian planned to announce a longer range and a standard range version. It will also have a configuration of seven seats.

It should be noted that different wheel size can play an important role in changing the EV range. Rivian said that his EPA figure with a 21-inch wheel, for example. With smaller 20-inch wheels – which might be popular outside the home that wants bouged tires – car makers estimate the overall 10-15 percent range for R1T and R1S. For a larger 22-inch wheel, whereas, which can increase the reduction of the range of 5-10 percent.
