Rivian offers a variety of battery packs and motors to give customers the range they need at the lowest price point possible. Let's take a look at the various battery sizes Rivian offers, their costs, and the range you’ll get with each package.
The battery options differ on Rivian’s Gen 1 and Gen 2 vehicles (model year 2025+), so we’ll break it down by vehicle generation. One thing to note is that even though Gen 2 has smaller battery sizes in general, the vehicles are far more efficient than the first generation, so you’ll be able to travel further on the same battery size.
Rivian divides its models by the number of motors and battery pack size. The motor options are Dual, Tri, and Quad, while the battery options are Standard, Large, and Max. So, when selecting a model, you’ll see names such as Dual Standard (two motors and the Standard battery) and Dual Large or Tri Max (three motors and the Max battery).
Here are your battery options for the current generation of vehicles (R1S and R1T) and their range and cost.
Gen 2 Battery Options
Vehicle | Pack | Battery Size | Estimated Range | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
R1T | Standard | 92.5 kWh | 258 mi / 415 km | Included |
| Large | 108.5 kWh | 330 mi / 531 km | +$7,000 |
| Max (Dual Motor) | 140 kWh | 420 mi / 676 km | +$14,000 |
| Max (Tri-motor) | 140 kWh | 371 mi / 597 km | +$30,000 |
R1S | Standard | 92.5 kWh | 258 mi / 415 km | Included |
| Large | 108.5 kWh | 330 mi / 531 km | +$7,000 |
| Max | 140 kWh | 410 mi / 660 km | +$14,000 |
| Max (Tri-motor) | 140 kWh | 371 mi / 597 km | +$30,000 |
You’ll note that the upcoming Quad Motor Ascend vehicles aren’t listed here just yet. Rivian hasn’t unveiled the details of the Quad Motor battery packs and pricing yet, but we’ll update the table above once that information arrives.
The Max Tri-motor models include the same battery pack as the Dual Max models, but their range is reduced due to the additional weight of the extra motor and the vehicle's performance tuning. The Tri-motor vehicles also include a variety of standard options, such as the Dynamic Glass Roof, Premium Audio, the Ascend interior, and others, which drives the price up to the $30,000 premium over the Dual motor variant.
Of note, the only official EPA range estimates are for the R1T’s Standard pack and the R1S’ Standard and Max packs.
Gen 1 Battery Options
Vehicle | Pack | Battery Size | Estimated Range |
|---|---|---|---|
R1T | Standard | 106 kWh | 270 mi / 435 km |
| Standard+ | 121 kWh | 315 mi / 507 km |
| Large | 131 kWh | 352 mi / 566 km |
| Large (Quad Motor) | 131 kWh | 328 mi / 527 km |
| Max | 141 kWh | 410 mi / 659 km |
R1S | Standard | 106 kWh | 270 mi / 435 km |
| Standard+ | 121 kWh | 315 mi / 507 km |
| Large | 131 kWh | 352 mi / 566 km |
| Large (Quad Motor) | 131 kWh | 321 mi / 516 km |
| Max | 141 kWh | 400 mi / 643 km |
Rivian offered more options in its battery lineup in Gen 1, and the range of its lowest-level offering was a bit bigger – 258 miles in Gen 2 compared to 270 miles in Gen 1. That difference is mostly due to the smaller pack size – 106 kWh in the Standard Gen 1 vehicles, while only 92.5 kWh in the Gen 2 vehicles.
The battery ranges above are all EPA estimates.
