Rivian R1T becomes first EV to win the US’ longest off-road rally

Posted by in category: transportation

Four teams using Rivian EVs were featured in the top 20 list, with 55 teams participating.

EVs are believed to be relatively less practical when compared to ICE vehicles. Limitations in range, charging time, and placement of a high-voltage system under the car often prevent users from pushing it to its limits.

Now, an EV has gone ahead and won the 2023 Rebelle Rally, the longest off-road rally conducted in the United States. The vehicle that achieved this feat was the Rivian R1T pickup truck, which made it the first all-electric to have won the 4X4 category of the rally since its inception in 2015.
