This just in, @wjhdrew is engaged in nefarious activities and is upset by any mention of SWAT teams. Thanks for letting me know how you feel, but really that's TMI.
Wait what did I post? I don't remember..and the post isn't here anymore..but I don't remember deleting it.
Oh I reacted to it with 'Sad'. Nvm. Don't remember why I felt bummed.

It's more space or more payload, there's a trade-off. You can't have bolth.

Edit to add: didn't mean to sound snarky! I thought it was @COdogman responding, so snark is my default.

I would think that if there are upfitters doing that level of work, someone could figure out an add-in system to add EREV capability to the RDV. The question to me is whether there would be sufficient demand to justify developing the system.
Rivian's battery warranty is explicit about not charging the battery any way except through the charging port. I doubt an upfitter would get an exception here, even beyond the philosophical reasons.

Imagine cartels and the mob going green?, they can snatch the ops swiftly and discreetly
Didn't Gen2 reduce battery pack replacement time from 8 hours to 1 hour?

And aren't there empty pack areas in the standard?

I'm not transporting drugs any time soon, but that sure would be a handy dandy hiding spot.

Standard fills the pack area, but I think the gen2 large has empty sections in the casing. Have yet to actually see this besides the module count compared to a max battery.
