Rivian Ike Gauntlet towing

[catalac]

Highlights:
8100lb load, temp 40 degrees F
8 miles up the Ike used 16% of the battery at 60mph
71 miles of various elevations towing to get to the Ike used 82% of battery
Charge station… doesn’t seem many are likely designed for a truck and trailer to pull in

Would say not quite a replacement for a dino fueled puller yet.

Lol 71 miles and only 18% battery left, 2 days of riding is a 6 day trip , hard enough to get trips in with driving there the 1st day of riding and driving home in the same day as the last day riding

Its just a expensive mall crawler . What is that 5 foot box ? Is that where you put the extension cord.

maybe in about 10 years they'll have it figured. Almost around the same time GM said they will discontinue petrol vehicles.....Overlords know what they doing

If you want replace a half ton that actually tows it will need at least a 250kwh battery to be comparable in range.

A 1 ton is going to need 500kwh.
