‘powered by the same battery pack that powers the R1T, our camp kitchen is designed to make food prep easy and cooking fun,’ explains rivian. ‘it features a slide-out cabinet with an induction cooktop, built-in sink, dish rack, five-gallon water tank, and storage for all the camp utensils and tools you need to build a proper feast.’

the R1T electric pickup will be available in several configurations. there are a choice of three battery packs – 105 kWh, 130 kWh and 180 kWh. according to rivian this translates to 230+ miles, 300+ miles and 400+ miles on a full charge and an integrated fast charger. for more details on speccs including vehicle-to-vehicle charging see designboom’s previous report. 

rivian’s R1T electric pickup hasn’t launched yet but is taking pre-orders. according information released earlier last year, the rivian R1T electric pickup truck will start at $69,000 before incentives in the US, and ship in late 2020.
