The Rivian R1S all-electric SUV can now be configured with the corporate’s new Max Pack battery that gives a most EPA-estimated vary of 400 miles, in keeping with the producer’s official web site, which was just lately up to date.

As per the California-based startup’s on-line configurator, a Max Pack-equipped R1S begins from $94,000 and has an EPA-estimated vary of 400 miles with 21-inch street wheels and the agency’s proprietary dual-motor setup that makes 533 horsepower.
The Max Pack can be specified at the side of the Efficiency dual-motor setup that makes 665 hp with out shedding a single mile from the estimated vary. On this spec, the R1S prices $99,000.
The non-obligatory $3,600 All-Terrain improve that comes with 20-inch all-terrain wheels lowers the EPA-estimated vary to 355 miles for each the usual and efficiency dual-motor R1S.
