Throttle House<\/em> recently had an opportunity to drag race the two first, modern all-electric pickup trucks – Rivian R1T<\/a> and GMC Hummer EV Pickup<\/a>. The duo was joined by the Tesla Model X<\/a> Plaid, but just for reference as it’s noticeably quicker.<\/p>\n

According to the specs, both pickups are capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in about 3.0 seconds, but according to the video, the Rivian R1T turned out to be noticeably quicker than the electric Hummer.<\/p>\n

All vehicles were tested at a high state of charge (above 80%), and at recommended settings, including low suspension height and GMC’s Watts To Freedom mode.<\/p>\n

The street tires on the Rivian R1T and a speed limit of about 106 mph (171 km\/h) in the Hummer EV were mentioned as potential reasons why the R1T is noticeably quicker. Nonetheless, the significantly heavier and bigger GMC Hummer EV Pickup was still amazingly quick.<\/p>\n

In the roll race, starting from 30 mph (48 km\/h), the Rivian R1T also was quicker than the GMC Hummer EV Pickup.<\/p>\n

Contenders in brief, according to Throttle House:<\/p>\n
