Rebelle Rally has now confirmed that two-time champions Emme Hall and Rebecca Donaghe will be driving an early pre-production version of the Rivian R1T electric pickup truck for this year’s rally. They describe it as “the ultimate proving ground for stock manufacturer vehicle.” It is not a race for speed but precision driving and navigating. Teams of two - a driver and navigator - turn in their cell phones, GPS, and Internet enabled devices and navigate their way to checkpoints of varying degrees of difficulty using only a compass, maps, and roadbooks. The remote rally will take place over 10 days and 2,000 kilometers of stunning roads, dirt roads, trails, dunes, and designated open off-highway vehicle areas across Nevada and California.

The Rebelle Rally is the longest competitive off-road navigation rally in the United States. Now they are going to put it to the test in the Rebelle Rally, a 2,000-km (1,243-mile) rally across California and Nevada: Rivian already tested the R1T’s mantel as a support vehicle on The Long Way Up trip in Harley Davidson’s Livewire. They specifically call their R1T pickup and R1S SUV “electric adventure vehicles.” Rivian is going to test its claim that its R1T electric pickup is adventure-capable in the Rebelle Rally next month.Įver since coming out of stealth mode with their electric vehicles, Rivian made it clear that they are targeting people who get the most out of their trucks: People who like to go on adventures.
