Performance
The Rivian R1S Quad-Motor AWD MP delivers a jaw-dropping maximum power of 764 KW (1039 hp/1025 bhp) and a massive total torque of 1623 Nm (1198 lb-ft). This powerhouse can rocket from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 2.6 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 149.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 141.5 kWh, providing a 7.5 kWh buffer (5.0%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 392 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards. This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimated range varies between 321 to 340 miles (516-547 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 2.3 mi/kWh for the base model and 2.4 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 220 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 130 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 47 minutes with an average charging speed of 127 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 139 kW, with each charging session taking about 28 minutes and 33 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 30 minutes. This journey would require three charging stops from 0% to 38%, with a total charging time of 71 minutes.
Onboard Charger
The standard 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 12 hours and 18 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.
