Rivian has made notable strides in streamlining its second-generation electric vehicles, the R1T and R1S, by significantly reducing internal complexities. By cutting 1.6 miles of wiring and decreasing the electronic control units from 17 to 7, the automaker has enhanced repairability and efficiency. This shift reflects broader industry trends aimed at reducing costs and weights associated with electric vehicles. The changes were explained in a recent video by Rivian's Senior Vice President of Electrical Hardware, which highlighted the rapid evolution in design within just two years.
"Rivian raised eyebrows last year with the debut of its second-generation electric truck and SUV. The R1T and the R1S are not only more advanced than their earlier versions but also radically more streamlined under the hood."
"Rivian's Senior Vice President of Electrical Hardware Vidya Rajagopalan explained how the automaker shifted from its first-generation vehicles to the much simpler second-generation models in just two years."
