Performance
The Rivian R1S Dual-Motor AWD LP delivers a solid performance with a maximum power of 398 kW (541 hp / 534 bhp) and a total torque of 827 Nm (610 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 201 km/h (125 mph), making it competitive within its class.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 114.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 109.0 kWh, providing a 5.0 kWh buffer (4.4%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 430 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.
This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimated range varies between 329 to 289 miles (529-465 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 3.0 mi/kWh for the base model and 2.7 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 210 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 110 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 37 minutes with an average charging speed of 125 kW.
Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 0% to 49%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 142 kW, with each charging session taking about 23 minutes and 37 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 27 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 29 minutes, needing three charging stops from 0% to 50%, totaling 69 minutes of charging time.
