Rivian has released video of its R1T electric pickup driving through a pool of water during testing. The midsize truck is capable of fording through over three feet of water, according to the company.
The midsize pickup is rated with a wading depth of three-plus feet and the water appears to be roughly that deep. The R1T is built around a skateboard-style chassis that incorporates a flat battery pack in the floor and electric motors at each axle, which means the entire drivetrain was submerged during the test. It also rides on an air suspension system that allows it to increase its ground clearance from 7.9 inches to 14.5 inches during low speed driving.More Related News
