Electric vehicles first came to the United States in the 1800s. It was when William Marrison of Iowa invented the first electric car that could carry 6 passengers and drive at 14 miles per hour. This great invention paved the way for car companies to design their own electric cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are electric overland vehicles on the rise and becoming more popular? Yes, and the Rivian R1T, Bollinger B1, and Tesla Cybertruck are just some of the evidence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because these cars can both reduce air and noise pollution from road transportation, the Department of Energy supported this innovation, further speeding up the development of EVs. Today, Tesla has already produced 1 million electric cars, and the popularity of electric cars has already reached the world of overlanding. <\/p>\n\n\n

In fact, many automakers have already announced plans to release their own electric SUVs and trucks in the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just by looking at the history and the rapid development of EVs, you can already tell that the future of electric overland vehicles looks very promising. It will be just a matter of time before they completely take over the world of overlanding, and many will now shift from traditional vehicles to environmentally friendly and cost-effective EVs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The release of the Rivian R1T<\/strong> (https:\/\/rivian.com\/r1t) in 2018 marks a major step in the integration of electric vehicles into the world of overlanding. The Rivian R1T impressed many overlanders at the Overland Expo West in 2019, where it not only boasted about its offroad driving capabilities but also its camp kitchen that slides in and out of its gear tunnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This EV is a battery-electric vehicle, which means that its rechargeable battery is what powers its electric motor. It’s no ordinary electric car because the R1T can travel up to 314 miles when fully charged. It has a ground clearance of 14.9 inches and wheels of 21″. It has a wading depth of 3 feet for easy driving in mud and river crossings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, it has 62 cubic feet of storage space for all your camping gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
