Thanks to four powerful electric motors per wheel, R1T can accelerate from 0 to 97 km / h in just 3.2 seconds.

After years of development, Rivian , a US start-up company , officially unveiled the first "spirit child" at the Los Angeles Auto Show yesterday (November 26), Verge reported. The pickup truck named R1T is highly appreciated for its robustness, modern equipment and especially environmentally friendly when fully powered by electricity.

R1T uses four separate electric motors with a capacity of up to 147 kW for each wheel, unlike most current electric vehicles that are usually only equipped with a single engine. Vehicles can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97km / h) in just 3.2 seconds.

With three battery pack options including 105 kWh, 130 kWh and 180 kWh, R1T can run 370 - 645km continuously on a single charge. The car is integrated with fast charging technology, but due to the large battery capacity, Rivian's pickup model still needs a lot of time to fully charge.
