US Electric Vehicle Sales Increased by 81% in 2018 and now get ready -ready for “The world’s first Electric Adventure Vehicles.” Rivian—an electric vehicle startup founded in 2009, is finally hitting the streets but not set to deliver until late 2019, maybe. Rivian’s first model to roll off the production line is the R1T. A riding-high, electric, full-sized, crew-cab, all-wheel-drive pickup going zero-to-60-mph, real quick – less than three seconds, the ability to form streams and excel off-road, and a claimed range between charges as high as 400 miles, though presumably not when towing to its maximum 10,000-pound capability.
