Rivian's Electric Revolution: Shocking Price Reveal, and More.

R1S electric SUV was expected to start around $70,000 before any potential incentives or additional options.

Rivian's electric vehicles are known for their impressive acceleration and performance. The R1T truck, for instance, has multiple powertrain configurations that can deliver quick acceleration.

The exact top speeds might vary based on the specific model and configuration, but these vehicles are designed to offer both on-road and off-road performance.

The R1T and R1S were initially expected to offer different battery pack options, with ranges varying from approximately 250 miles to over 400 miles on a single charge.

These ranges would allow drivers to embark on longer journeys and off-road adventures without frequent charging stops.
