Range is important on an EV road trip, but also how quickly the vehicle can recharge. We test that on the Rivian R1T. https://lnkd.in/e5qy_YZE

I just finished watching the Rivian event. R2 - Rivian's next-generation, low-cost EV looks like an AMAZING value! Here are some of the highlights and a really disappointing lowlight!. 👍 Highlights: • Starting at $45,000 (and qualify for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit) • 5 Seats that can fold fleet for storage or Camp Mode • Single, Dual or Tri-Motor • 0-60mph in <3s • All with over 300 miles of range • Will feature NACS/J3400 charge port • 4695 structural battery pack • R3 looks and specs are even better ( I only wish that Rivian survives long enough to release R3. If they do, the R3 is going to be a huge success) 👎 Lowlight: • Coming in 2026 - this is so long, Tesla might have refreshed Model-Y, 25k Model2, and perhaps the flying car by then 😀 ! Did anyone watch it? What do you think of R2 and Rivian's promise? #electricvehicles #ev #evcharging #emobilitysimplified

🚗🔌 **Exciting Updates in the Rivian R1 Platform!** 🚀 As a technical trainer, I'm thrilled to share the latest developments in Rivian's R1 platform. Buckle up, because this is more than just a facelift—it's a quantum leap forward. 🌟 ## 1. Autonomous Sensory and System: The Rivian Autonomy Platform Rivian's revamped R1S and R1T now come equipped with the cutting-edge Rivian Autonomy Platform. Picture this: The system integrates inputs from 11 internally developed high-resolution cameras. These cameras provide a comprehensive view of the vehicle’s surroundings, capturing critical data for safe navigation. Additionally, the platform utilizes five advanced radars, enhancing its ability to detect objects, pedestrians, and other vehicles. All working in harmony, capturing an uninterrupted 360-degree view even in dark tunnels. ##2. Streamlined Zonal Architecture: Less Is More Rivian’s move to a zonal architecture is akin to decluttering a busy workspace. Here’s how it works:- In the previous generation, Rivian relied on 17 electronic control units (ECUs) scattered throughout the vehicle. Now, they’ve consolidated these into just 7 strategically placed units. The zonal architecture enables efficient communication between ECUs within specific zones. Each zone handles related functions, reducing the complexity of wiring and improving reliability. Thanks to Nvidia Drive Orin processors, this system is 10 times more powerful than its predecessor. The entire system processes an astonishing 250 trillion operations per second, ensuring real-time responsiveness and accuracy. And guess what? streamlining efficiency and reducing wiring by 1.6 miles per vehicle. Safety features like blind spot monitoring and highway assist are standard, with even more advanced capabilities coming soon. 📸🛣️ ## 3. Battery Evolution: Adaptive Range Tracking and LFP Cells Rivian isn't playing games when it comes to batteries. Their adaptive range tracking ensures optimal performance, dynamically adjusting based on driving conditions. The new Large and Max battery packs feature redesigned modules and more efficient packaging. The pack enclosure now utilizes large high pressure die castings to not only dramatically simplify manufacturing but to also reduce mass. Plus, they've embraced LFP cells (lithium iron phosphate) for their Standard battery pack. These cells enhance longevity, safety, and affordability. Imagine the possibilities—longer drives, fewer worries! 🔋🔍 ##4. Motor Technology: Silent Powerhouses Rivian is designing, engineering and manufacturing all motors in-house. There’s a new Tri Motor option, combining a single front motor with two rear-mounted units, generating 850 horsepower and 1103 pound-feet. The Quad Motor models now deliver a whopping 1025 horsepower and 1198 pound-feet of torque.. 🚀⚡ Source : https://lnkd.in/dDUYT3Q8 🚗🔌 #Rivian #innovation #ElectricVehicles #ElectricCar #electricalarchitecture #zonalecu #nvidea🌐🔗

🚗 Exciting news in the EV world, Rivian up 36% Pre-Market! Volkswagen is exploring potential investments in Rivian, a move that could shake up the market. With Rivian's innovative R1T and R1S models already making waves, this might be the perfect time to consider an upgrade. I'm thinking of trading my Tesla Model Y for a Rivian R1T or R1S. The combination of Rivian's cutting-edge technology and Volkswagen's support makes these vehicles even more appealing.

Rivian #R2 or the #ModelY “killer” leaks details, and it’s fantastic! Could this be the answer for Tesla’s closet Western competitor? The big 3, #GM #Ford & Stellantis, and Toyota Motor Corporation are giving up on #EV for gas ⛽️ profits now, and @rivian is the only other pure EV effort in the west with a chance to catch Tesla. BYD and Chinese OEMs are coming to the west like a low priced flood to take on gas vehicles, but we need options like this to keep the west alive. Rivian has a profitable #electricvan program, and a fully functional plant which is more than most can say 😉. They also plan to build a new plant for R2 making them a threat to Tesla and Chinese OEMs. Money is tight, but launching this plus the van is their salvation.
