Thoughts from the Driver’s Seat with Mike Nelson

A “Costcoesque Battery Choice” Revisited

A few weeks ago in this post we observed that American consumers’ desire for bigger and bigger EV batteries may not be reflective of actual driving needs, nor conducive to advancing many of the objectives of electrification. This week, as partner Mike Nelson prepares to take delivery of a new Rivian truck, he walks us through his own “Costcoesque battery choice.” Did he opt for the Standard pack (projected 260+ mile range), Large pack (EPA estimated 314 mile range), or Max pack (projected 400+ mile range)? Watch the video to find out what he chose, and why.
