In the early days of the electric vehicle market, the buying options were limited. Most manufacturers started with the most efficient packaging and designs for EVs like coupes, sedans and hatchbacks. But as the number of categories has grown, the market potential has grown with it. There are now multiple entries to serve the needs of almost any consumer. While the Tesla Cybertruck and Chevrolet Silverado EV might be getting the most coverage right now, the model that kicked off the current crop of electric trucks was the Rivian R1T.
The R1T was an immediate hit with enthusiasts both off-road and on-road. The electric truck’s speed, power and versatility brought in a lot of new customers that had never considered an EV before. One of those R1T buyers is Jesse who recently met up with the AutomotiveWoman YouTube channel to discuss the experience of owning his first all-electric vehicle.
