Rivian R1T Wins Rebelle Rally, The First EV To Do So

It is safe to assume Team #187 drove the quad-motor variant (bone stock) to victory, as we can spot yellow brake calipers. If so, the EV entered the rally with 835 horsepower and 908 lb-ft of torque at the driver’s disposal.

Without the 410-mile Max Pack, the winning R1T has 328 miles of juice, which should’ve drained plenty of times in this 1,600-mile, eight-day rally race across the Nevada and California desert.

During an interview, Macaruso said they crossed the line with 34 percent of the charge left. How do they charge up in the middle of nowhere? The rally series partnered with Renewable Innovations to provide mobile charging stalls on support trailers.
