The Out of Spec YouTube channel has a large library of electric vehicle comparison videos. Their long-distance races in particular do a great job highlighting each vehicle platform's best features and where they fall short. For this latest race, the team is pitting large, three-row SUVs against one another in a simulation of a traditional family road trip.
The first competitor is the Rivian R1S. This is a first-generation example, not the updated 2025 model. But range and performance should be similar in the second-generation units. With a 140+ kWh battery and 400 miles of EPA range, the Rivian has the most long-distance capability out of the gate.
