The Rivian R1T electric pickup has been put into a real-world test, far exceeding its purpose of a premium adventure vehicle. The question is whether it can survive a hard day's work?
The Fast Lane Truck - after showing a cool drag race and initial charging test - took the R1T to a ranch. At first, FLT checked the capability of powering various tools, using a 120 V electric outlet (there are two in the bed). According to the video, the power output is enough for basic needs (1,500 W or so), but some of the tools had a slow start. Maybe a 240 V outlet would be a better idea in the future.
* Rivian R1T has a total of four 120 V outlets (including gear tunnel) with a combined 48 A current limit (5,760 W), according to an update from FLT.
