road trip

Hey all! I am planning a trip at the end of March to Boston from Philly. There is a good amount of fast charges along the way so I’m not worried about that, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips and tricks they would recommend for a 5-6hr trip with kids in a R1S. I remember road trips when...

Some owners head for mountain passes, others choose coastal routes, and some stick to forest roads. If you’ve done a winter trip already, where did you go, and how did the truck perform? — Team Electruck

Sorry this is so long.... We just got back from our most recent road trip to see our daughter in Denver. When we travel, we always meander and sight see. We did this in our 2023 R1T Dual Max. Our trip started at home in Joshua Tree, CA to Gallup NM , Durango CO, Buena Vista Co, Denver...

Okay folks, time to put your “EV range anxiety” in the glovebox , If we had one! so maybe put in that strange cubby under the seat? . Yesterday. I loaded up my 2024 Generation 1 Rivian R1S Dual Motor Performance (Standard+ battery pack, EPA-rated 300 miles range which is .~ 2.48 mi/kWh) and...

Thought I’d post my experience driving from Chicago to my In laws house in Northwest Wisconsin. They live in an area with very little charging infrastructure so planning the trip is very key. We left the suburbs around 5am at 95% battery on the 2024 gen 1 R1T dual motor large pack. Temperatures...

I have to admit I’m having some anxiety about an upcoming 950 mile family road trip in my R1S in late March. I’ve heard mixed opinions about taking road trips in an EV. Some say it took hours longer due to frequent stops, out of order chargers, slower than expected charging speeds, etc. I’ll be...

Summary: The new and improved Tow Mode was applied in the middle of my trip. It was useful in some ways, needs serious improvement in others. No "left me stranded" charging problems, but EA did have one *MAJOR* foul-up that wasted half a day. The West Coast is pretty great for charging...

I'm close to 19k miles on the R1T since taking delivery last September, and have just completed the longest trip so far. With a little help from my Rivian guide I managed to get a cracked windshield replaced just before leaving. I also had 70% ceramic tint installed on the roof and new...

Question? Has anyone take a road trip along the I 80 corridor? I am potentially driving from Connecticut to Western Wisconsin in my Rivian R1T and was wondering how was charging in general? Hotels with charging? How much additional time it will take based on someone’s experience with charge...

Took a 3-day-weekend short trip up to Washington State's Olympic Peninsula. Photo above is from a spit of land that acts as a seawall to protect the Port of Port Angeles, Washington from the ocean (or the Straight of Juan de Fuca specifically,) at left is Port Angeles Bay with mainland US...

Not so long ago we came back from a road trip to Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes at Death Valley National Park. Spent one day at Paso Robles then 2 nights at Inyokern. Why Inyokern? It’s because of the RAN. The Mesquite flat sand dunes is 109 miles away so I charged up to 98% (315 miles) to give...

Short and sweet details. R1S, 22s 80 degree weather mostly Flat Texas drive 224 miles 4pm to 8pm ( rush hour hit in Waco ) usually takes 3.5-4 hours depending on kiddo stops/food This trip was 4.5 hours. 18 min stop to charge a touch, and a 20 minute Whataburger stop. Pleasantly surprised...

Here's my take on an interim camp kitchen I built ahead of our road trip through the Southwest. I've had a great time building it and drawing inspiration from others, so sharing here in the hopes someone gets some ideas flowing. The goals were: Keep cost reasonable since we plan to get the...

We just returned home from a week long 3400 mile road trip with our R1T. This is our first EV. The TLDR; the truck performed exceptionally well and charging 26 times was no hassle at all. My wife and I live in Ann Arbor, MI. We got our R1T about two months ago and decided to take it on a road...
