Late Wednesday, the Irvine, California-based electric vehicle company shared another feat concerning the R1T.
What Happened: Rivian’s 2023 R1T quad-motor with large-pack battery and 21-inch wheel now has an estimated range, based on Environmental Protection Agency standards, of 328 miles, the company said in a tweet. The range of an EV is the distance covered between two charges.
The 22-inch 2023 R1T model has a range of 303 miles and the 20-inch variant has a relatively lower range of 289 miles, according to information available on EPA's website.
This R1T model is now the highest-range EV truck in the market, Rivian said.
The company also said there is scope for a further increase in the range, helped by software updates that can improve vehicle efficiency.
