Rivian R2 Specs & Range

Rivian R2 range: EPA and real-world

EPA range depends on trim and tires. The single-motor Standard Long Range is estimated at up to 345 miles. The dual-motor Launch Performance Edition — the first R2 on sale — is rated 328 miles on 21-inch all-season tires, and about 310 miles if you fit the 20-inch all-terrain package. The entry Standard with the smaller pack is estimated at 275+ miles.

• Standard Long Range (single motor): up to 345 mi (EPA-estimated)
• Launch Performance (dual motor), 21" all-season: 328 mi
• Launch Performance, 20" all-terrain: ~310 mi
• Standard (smaller pack): 275+ mi (estimated)

Those are lab figures. In everyday mixed and highway driving, plan on roughly 269–302 miles from the Launch Performance Edition, with cold weather and sustained 75+ mph cruising pushing you toward the low end. To model your own commute, temperature, and speed, run the numbers in the EV range calculator and the winter range calculator.

Charging speed and time

The R2 runs a 400-volt architecture and peaks at 210kW on DC fast charging (Rivian's EPA filing lists a 217 kW peak), going 10–80% in about 29 minutes — roughly 200 miles of range added in a single stop. It uses a native NACS port, so it plugs directly into Tesla Superchargers as well as CCS stations with an adapter. That's a step behind the Model Y's 250 kW peak, but the 29-minute 10–80% time is competitive because the R2's larger pack holds its charge rate longer.

Charge time at home on a Level 2 wallbox depends on your amperage and the pack's state of charge. Estimate a full or partial session — home or public, any charger speed — with the EV charging time calculator.

Towing capacity and range impact

Rivian rates the R2 at 4,400 lbwith the tow package — enough for a small camper, a utility or enclosed trailer, jet skis, or a small boat, and more than the Tesla Model Y's 3,500 lb. Like every EV, though, the R2 pays for a trailer in range.

Near the rating with a tall, boxy trailer at highway speed, expect to lose roughly half your range — around 164 miles between charges rather than the 328 unladen. The loss is dominated by aerodynamics, so a low teardrop costs far less than a square enclosed trailer, and your speed matters more than the weight on the ball. Model a specific trailer with the EV towing range calculator.

Cost to charge: home vs. public

Charging the R2's 87.9 kWh pack at home is far cheaper than fast-charging on the road. At a typical US residential rate, a 10–80% top-up costs a few dollars; the same energy at a public DC fast charger can run three to four times more per kWh. Over a year of driving, that gap is the difference between the R2 being cheap to run and merely convenient.

Put real numbers to it with the EV charging cost calculator (compare your home electricity rate against public DC pricing), and if you're weighing a home wallbox install, the home charger ROI calculator shows how fast a Level 2 charger pays for itself versus relying on public charging.
