It is easier done than said.
Boat owners are well aware of the troubles they have to go through at marinas to get their boats in or out of the water. Now, a brave Rivian R1T owner shows how it can be done in a hassle-free way, after adjusting a few settings on the electric pickup,Electric vehicle owners are a special bunch. Not only are they helping usher in a new generation of transportation, they are also helping us understand the limits of EVs in the market today.
The boat owner also chose to use their EV pickup because they would have had to wait hours in a queue to retrieve their boat using specially designed vehicles. Incidentally, Bear Lake is also known for its gentle slopes, which made it easier for them to get their EV into the water. All the user did was put the suspension setting of the R1T at the highest level and gently reverse into the waters until the boat could be secured to the trailer. Once that was done, the four individual motors of the pickup showed the prowess of the torque they can generate and got the boat out of the water—as seen in the video above.It also helped that the Rivian user also used their EV to first lower their boat into the lake to begin with.
