Rivian R2 Launch + Toyota Makes A Three-Row EV In America | InsideEVs Podcast Ep61

From InsideEVs.

Patrick was among the first people outside of Rivian to drive the R2. He tells us what he thought about Rivian’s upcoming SUV in the flesh, from its 650+ horsepower to its new user interface. The guys also discuss the 2027 Toyota Highlander, which was revealed this week and will only be available as an EV. Tim saw it in person and explains why it’s a big deal for the electric space.

In Plus/Minus, Patrick and Tim talk about the EPA’s war on climate science and Stellantis’ $26 billion EV write-off.
