Performance

The Rivian R1S Quad-Motor AWD delivers a jaw-dropping maximum power of 620 KW (843 hp/831 bhp) and a massive total torque of 1231 Nm (908 lb-ft). This powerhouse can rocket from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 3.1 seconds, showcasing its astonishing acceleration. Additionally, it achieves a top speed of 201 km/h (125 mph), making it a true marvel of engineering and performance.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 135.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 125.0 kWh, providing a 10.0 kWh buffer (7.4%) for battery protection.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimated range varies between 321 to 289 miles (516-465 km), depending on the vehicle’s configuration and options. For instance, larger wheels can increase energy consumption and reduce the overall range. The energy consumption rates are 2.6 mi/kWh for the base model and 2.3 mi/kWh for the top-tier version, according to the EPA standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 106 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 43 minutes with an average charging speed of 123 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 0% to 45%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 135 kW, with each charging session taking about 25 minutes and 55 seconds.

In a theoretical 1000 km challenge, starting with a full battery and maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) under ideal conditions with an assumed consumption rate of 30 kWh/100 km, the trip would take approximately 9 hours and 38 minutes. This journey would require three charging stops from 0% to 47%, with a total charging time of 78 minutes.

Onboard Charger

The onboard charger supports up to 11.5 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. This allows you to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 10 hours and 52 minutes using a home charging setup.

Charge Port

The location of the charge port is on the left front corner. This location makes it easy to use charge stations where you need to park with the front in. Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
