The new R1S and R1T offer Rivian's first LFP battery pack. The EPA says it will do 270 miles in mixed driving, but this highway test shows its road-trip endurance.
Rivian gave its R1S and R1T flagships a substantial update for the 2025 model year. The company dramatically reduced the amount of wiring and electronic complexity in the trucks, redid the motors and launched a new, more affordable lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack for the base models. Now, thanks to our friends Out Of Spec Reviews on Youtube, we finally have a range test of the new LFP truck.
Rivian only offers LFP batteries in the base configurations of the R1S and R1T for this reason. If you want more range, you have to step up to the more dense NCM packs in the longer-range versions of the R1S and R1T. The LFP pack—available only with a dual-motor setup—is rated for 270 miles of mixed city/highway driving by the EPA. The longest-range NCM configuration can go 420 miles on a charge.
