Electric vehicles are here to stay. News from the EV world just keeps coming, and these cars aren’t just for getting from Point A to Point B anymore. They’re becoming snazzier, quicker, and now able to conquer the off-road. The startup company Rivian just announced at the LA Auto Show that they are now offering two off-road all-electric vehicles that are anything but boring – the R1T pickup truck and the R1S SUV. We can bet you’ll remember those headlights whether a fan or not.
