Rivian is a new electric car company with bases in both California and London. Yesterday, we saw its idea of a fully-electric, stupendously powerful pickup truck called the R1T. Today, it has revealed a fully-electric, stupendously powerful SUV called the R1S. The spec, then, is similar to that pickup truck. Both cars utilise Rivian"s skateboard" electric platform, which puts the battery, drive units, suspension, braking and thermal system all below the height of each wheel. And just like the pickup, each wheel gets its own 147kW electric motor for AWD, matched up to your choice of battery size. There"s a 180kWh pack with an estimated 400 miles of range, and a 135kWh battery with 300 miles of range. Later, a smaller 105kWh battery will be offered which provides over 240 miles.
