Rivian's Electric R1T Takes First Place at Rebelle Rally Thanks to Green Hydrogen Chargers

The Rebelle Rally, the longest off-road map-and-compass rally in the U.S., was won for the first time by an all-electric vehicle - the 2023 Rivian R1T.

The R1T driven by Rivian employees Lilly Macaruso and Alex Anderson took first place in the 4x4 class.

Rivian has used the Rebelle Rally as a proving ground for the R1T, getting feedback to improve features like sand mode.

The rally brings EVs far from charging stations, so Renewable Innovations provides DC fast chargers powered by green hydrogen.

This was the first year green hydrogen was used to power the chargers, overcoming an EV infrastructure challenge for the rally.
