The short version

The 2026 Rivian R1T starts at $79,990, goes 420 miles on a charge, sips electricity at 87 MPGe. Here's what the EPA numbers actually mean.

Pricing

Starts at $79,990 before destination, across 25 EPA-rated trims. We verify every price by hand against manufacturer and dealer sources — if we can't confirm a number, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Range and efficiency

EPA-tested at 420 miles of range and 87 MPGe combined. That's the lab number every car takes, so it's the fairest comparison there is. In the real world, knock off 10–20% for highway speed and cold weather. Cheaper trims with smaller wheels actually go farther — the lineup stretches from 258 to 420 miles.

Charging and fuel cost

At the U.S. average of $0.17 per kWh, 12,000 miles a year costs about $792 in electricity — roughly $66 a month. That's the whole fuel story; there are no oil changes either. Plug in your own rates in the fuel cost calculator.

Fast charging

On a DC fast charger it peaks at 220 kW (same as R1S (Gen 2)) — enough to add serious miles in the time it takes to grab coffee. Figures are manufacturer ratings for the best trim; real-world peaks vary with battery temperature and state of charge.
