- 2022 R1T
We moved all EV with an R1T last May and a '22 Mach E in August. Love them both for different reasons and haven't looked back. The R1T is the road tripper and adventure mobile, while the Mach E is the city car.
For that reason we just got the standard battery in the Mach E and we're wishing we had the bigger battery, instead. Haven't had any issues but it would be nice to charge less often.
I appreciate the build quality and bug-free nature of the Mach E, the UI and capability of the Rivian.
Not having to maintain ICE platforms was an unexpected weight off my shoulders. I've always enjoyed performing my own maintenance, but purging my garage of the quarts of oil, grease, additives, spare parts, gaskets, special tools, etc was an eye opener. No more trips to dispose of used oil, no more oil changes for $150 bucks, no more worrying about when certain components will bite the dust.
Charging is not a huge issue for us because we rarely road trip, but it IS a challenge where we live. I did the math and have visited 5 different EA locations across maybe 10 visits. I've only had a seamless charge twice. 8/10 of those times required... Work and extra time.
Going full EV has lightened our lives
