Performance
The Rivian R1T Quad-Motor AWD produces a maximum power of 620 kW (843 hp / 831 bhp) and a total torque of 1231 Nm (908 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 201 km/h (125 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 135.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 125.0 kWh, with a 10.0 kWh buffer (7.4%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 392 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
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 207 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 106 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 43 minutes at an average power of 123 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 0–45%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 135 kW over a session lasting about 25 minutes and 55 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 30 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 38 minutes, needing three charging stops from 0% to 47%, totaling 78 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11.5 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 10 hours and 52 minutes with a suitable 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.
