The more affordable Rivian R2<\/a> will be easier to plug into Tesla\u2019s extensive Supercharger network. Rivian confirmed the R2 will have a charge port on the driver\u2019s side, making it compatible with Tesla\u2019s Supercharger<\/a> network.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anticipation is already building for Rivian\u2019s next-gen vehicle. In March, Rivian introduced the R2<\/a>, its new mid-size electric crossover expected to propel the brand into the mass market.<\/p>\n

Starting at $45,000, the R2 is nearly half the cost of Rivian\u2019s current R1S<\/a> and R1T models, starting at $75,900 and $69,900, respectively. Despite its smaller size, the electric SUV is designed for \u201cbig adventures and everyday use.\u201d<\/p>\n

The brand promises R2 will still have the Rivian essence but in a smaller, more affordable package.<\/p>\n

At 4,715 mm long, 1,700 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,935 mm, the R2 is considerably smaller than the R1S ( 5,100 mm x L, 1,873 mm x H, 3,075 x wheelbase). However, with a flexible interior, the smaller electric SUV can still fit gear for your camping trip or other adventures.<\/p>\n

The R2 has earned quite the fan base. According to Rivian\u2019s Vice President of Manufacturing Tim Fallon, the R2 has \u201cwell over 100,000 pre-orders,\u201d and that number continues climbing<\/a> \u201corganically.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to RivianForums<\/em>, Rivian executives confirmed that the charge port on the production R2 will be on the driver\u2019s side. The announcement came at Rivian\u2019s Pasadena Space, where it has been showing off its R2 and even smaller and more affordable R3 and tri-motor R3X<\/a> models.<\/p>\n
