History

Rivian unveiled the upcoming truck under the working name A1T in May 2018[8] but rebadged the vehicle in November 2018 as the R1T.[9] Designed to be off-road capable, the 2018 concept design was planned to have 14 in (360 mm) of ground clearance, feature an 800HP [600 kW; 810 PS] electric motor, with the most expensive models being designed to achieve approximately 450 miles (720 km) on a charge.[8] The company claimed that early prototype testing showed the truck to be able to accelerate from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in under 3 seconds, wade through 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) of water and climb a 45 degree incline.[8] These design objectives were largely achieved in the 2021 production vehicle release.[10] Rivian said^[when?] it was designing the vehicles to facilitate "car-sharing" with their autonomous features.[11]

In 2018, Rivian stated it intended to license its electric chassis to other manufacturers as a design base for machinery such as cars and other components.[12][13] As of 2018, Rivian stated it planned to begin production of the R1T in 2020.[12]

In March 2021, Rivian announced plans to develop a network of public charging stations by 2023. Similar to competitor Tesla, they plan to eventually offer a combination of fast chargers and slower destination chargers, while also selling home chargers.[14] The target is for 600 Rivian-only Adventure Network sites with 3,500 DC fast chargers at high-traffic locations; 200 kW will be the initial charging speed, with an eventual target of 300 kW.[15] As of March 2021^[update], the company is planning 10,000 destination chargers (Level 2, 11.5 kW) — called Rivian Waypoints — at retail, lodging, dining businesses, as well as parks and other locations; Waypoint chargers are slated to be available^[when?] to all EVs with a J1772 connector.[16] Starting July 2021, Rivian will install, at no cost to the government, two Rivian Waypoint chargers at up to 50 Colorado State Parks and state recreation areas.[17][18][19]^{[needs update]}

In the summer of 2021, journalists from MotorTrend became the first to cross the Trans America Trail in an electric vehicle—on a 7,686 mi (12,369 km) journey covering terrain including rocks, mud, gravel and sand—using a stock R1T pre-production version of the truck.[20][21]

In September 2021, the first customer vehicle rolled off the production line and was delivered to a customer.[6][5] The Rivian R1T was being initially offered with three different batteries sized 105 kWh, 135 kWh, and 180 kWh of energy storage.[10] Rivian R1T will have a range of 230 miles with the smallest battery, 314 miles for the medium battery, and over 400 miles for the largest battery. Additional batteries can be mounted in the R1T's bed for improved range. Those backup/auxiliary batteries can be charged by another R1T, if no charging infrastructure is available.[22]

According to CarandDriver magazine the real world range is around 220 miles when the truck is loaded and driven on a highway.[23]

Rivian began delivering the first R1T trucks to customers in October 2021.[24]

Design and specifications

The Rivian R1T is an all-electric, battery-powered, Individual wheel drive light duty pickup truck[25][26] The vehicle features four electric motors, one on each wheel, that combine to produce 835 hp (623 kW) and deliver 908 ft⋅lb (1,231 N⋅m) of torque.[27]

• Motors: four AC permanent magnet[28] The front two motors produce 415 hp (309 kW) and 413 ft⋅lb (560 N⋅m) of torque while the rear two motors produce 420 hp (310 kW) and 495 ft⋅lb (671 N⋅m) of torque.[29]
• Drivetrain:
  • direct-drive transaxles from the centrally-mounted four motors[20]
  • torque vectoring wheel control, senses slip on each wheel with millisecond granularity, "distributes the proper amount of power to each wheel, precisely as needed."[28]
• Suspension: "sophisticated suspension architecture" with dynamic roll control:[28]
  • ride-height adjustable air suspension: 6.5 in (170 mm) of wheel travel allows for ride height of 7.9–14.4 in (200–370 mm)
  • front: adaptive dampers, unequal-length double-wishbone suspension
  • rear: adaptive dampers, multi-link suspension
• Length: 217.1 in (5.51 m) Width: 81.8 in (2.08 m) (with mirrors folded) Height: 72.1–78.3 in (1.83–1.99 m)[27]
• Gross vehicle weight: 8,532 lb (3,870 kg) at maximum payload of 1,700 lb (770 kg)[27]
• Acceleration: 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 3.0 seconds.[10][30] Top speed 110 mph (180 km/h)[31]
• Regenerative braking: up to 0.21 g. Charges the battery with energy dissipated during braking.[32]
• Balance: 51/49 front-rear weight distribution[26]
• Range: 314 mi (505 km) with the standard 135 kWh "Large pack" battery pack. 400 mi (640 km) with the optional 180 kWh "Max pack" (available 2023)[26]
• Battery pack: 7,776 cells (2170 type[28]) in a nine-module assembly for the 135 kWh battery pack.[26] The Li-ion[27] cells are manufactured by Samsung; battery pack is assembled by Rivian in Normal, Illinois.[32] A flashlight is available on the driver-side door containing a Li-ion cell identical to the cells used in the main battery, bringing the total cell count in the vehicle to 7,777.[33]
• Electrical outlets: dual 15A/120V AC outlets in the cargo bed; single 15A/120V AC outlet in the frunk and another in the gear tunnel.[27]
• Hardware readiness for assisted driving: 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, 5 radar sensors[26]
• The R1T can charge at up to 225 kW and supports Plug&Charge.[32]
• Interior display size: 12 in (30 cm) driver cluster plus a 15 in (38 cm) main infotainment/navigation/climate/comfort display in the center of dashboard.[31]
• Coefficient of Drag: 0.30[34]

The chassis includes braking, suspension, and cooling systems with a battery in the center.[35] Rivian's relatively flat, low center of gravity chassis is a typical electric vehicle skateboard,[36] which enables straightforward modification by the manufacturer for other body types.[37][35]

Rivian has applied for a patent on a novel tight-turning technique where differential motor torque between the turned front wheels and back wheels is applied.[38] Previously referred to as "Tank Turn" mode, the software to support the feature was not ready and so is not included in the initial production trucks in late 2021.[28]

Storage and towing

The cargo bed is 4.5 ft (1.4 m) long. Its width at the narrowest point, between the wheel wells, is 50 in (1.3 m).[39] Towing capacity is 11,000 lb (4,990 kg), as tested in conditions exceeding 100 °F (38 °C) on a desert road that is specified by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) as the standard for determining a vehicle’s tow rating.[40][41] The Class V tow hitch is hidden behind a removable panel.[39]

The "frunk" — located where the engine would be in a internal-combustion-engine-powered truck — offers 11 cu ft (0.31 m³) of additional cargo space, and contains 12 V DC outlets, a 15A/120V AC outlet, and a drain.[27]

Another storage compartment is the 11.6 cu ft (0.33 m³)[28] 65 in (1.7 m)-long Gear Tunnel, which runs the width of the truck and can be used for storing sports equipment[39] or a number of available accessories.[42] It also has a 12 V DC outlet and a 15A/120V AC outlet.[27]

Off-road driving and overlanding

The vehicle has an air suspension which allows for 6.5 in (17 cm) of vertical travel — the ground clearance can be as low as 7.9 in (20 cm) or as high as 14.4 in (37 cm).[31] Depending on the wheel configuration, the maximum ground clearance can be even higher, at 14.9 in (38 cm).[31] Maximum wading depth in water is 43.1 inches (1094.74 mm).[43] Approach, departure, breakover angles are 35.5, 30 and 26.4 degrees respectively.[44] Custom made Pirelli 275/65 R20 all-terrain tires are available as an option.[45]

Custom drive modes—which adjust the suspension, ride-height, throttle and steering—include "All-Purpose, Sport, Conserve, Tow and Off-Road", plus sub modes for off-road that include "Rock Crawl, Soft Sand and Rally."[31][46]

Rivian is offering vehicle options for off roading: a reinforced underbody shield with tow hooks,[31] a "camp kitchen"—two induction cooking elements (1440W each, Dometic CI20), a sink, plus 30 pieces of outdoor cooking/dining equipment—that collapses into the R1T gear tunnel,[42] as well as a roof-top tent for three.[31] A winch is available as an option and can be controlled via Rivian's iOS app.[47]

Hands-free driving

R1T has safety and driver assistance package called the Driver+. On selected highways the truck is capable of self-steering and controlling speed following the instructions of the driver similar to Tesla's AutoPilot. During hands-free driving the driver has to keep their eyes on road and Rivian R1T has cameras inside the cabin to monitor the driver's activity.[48][49][50] The hands-free feature works well in straight roads but needs driver's input when taking corners.[51]

Awards

The Rivian R1T was awarded the 2022 Truck of the Year by Motor Trend.[52]
