The Rivian R1S all-electric SUV can now be configured with the company\u2019s new Max Pack battery that offers a maximum EPA-estimated range of 400 miles, according to the manufacturer\u2019s official website, which was recently updated.<\/p>\n
The change was first seen by the Rivian Forums<\/em> user DuoRivians<\/em>, who posted a smartphone screenshot showing all the available battery packs for the zero-emissions SUV.<\/p>\n As per the California-based startup\u2019s online configurator, a Max Pack-equipped R1S starts from $94,000 and has an EPA-estimated range of 400 miles with 21-inch road wheels and the firm\u2019s proprietary dual-motor setup that makes 533 horsepower.<\/p>\n The Max Pack can also be specified in conjunction with the Performance dual-motor setup that makes 665 hp without losing a single mile from the estimated range. In this spec, the R1S costs $99,000.<\/p>\n The optional $3,600 All-Terrain upgrade that comes with 20-inch all-terrain wheels lowers the EPA-estimated range to 355 miles for both the standard and performance dual-motor R1S.<\/p>\n Compared to the Large Pack battery offered by Rivian, the Max Pack is $10,000 more expensive and offers 48 extra miles of range, according to the marque\u2019s website.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The automaker\u2019s CEO and founder, RJ Scaringe, announced at the end of February that they were working on a new Max Pack + Dual-Motor AWD configuration for the R1S with seven seats which had a projected range of 390 miles and was slated for delivery this fall.<\/p>\n Seeing how a custom Rivian order usually takes about four months, it\u2019s hard to see how customers will get their hands on a Max Pack R1S before the fall is over, but nevertheless, it\u2019s nice to see that the all-electric SUV can now be had in a version that goes over 399 miles on a full charge (at least in theory).<\/p>\n In related news, the online R1T inventory shop got a new \u201cMax Pack\u201d filter, hinting at the possibility of Rivian adding ready-made pickups with the biggest available battery pack to its stock soon, which can be delivered in about one to six weeks. With this being said, the \u201cMax Pack\u201d filter is currently grayed out, meaning that no such configurations are available yet.<\/p>\n Source: Rivian<\/span> via Rivian Forums<\/span> <\/p>\n
