[EMBARGO 9/28 DNP] Rivian R1T
The Rivian R1T is one of the coolest electric vehicles I've driven, period.
  • I've tested 25 electric cars from Tesla, Mercedes, Hyundai, Ford, and more. 
  • Seven vehicles stand out as my current favorites. 
  • Some of my favorite EVs come from Porsche, Pininfarina, and Rivian. 

When someone finds out that I test electric cars for a living, their next question most often is: "So what's been your favorite?"

Picking an absolute favorite is tough, since I've had so many memorable experiences with so many interesting vehicles. But looking back at hours sampling more than two-dozen battery-powered rides, I've narrowed it down to a handful.

These aren't necessarily the objective best picks on the market, they're just the ones that stand out to me, according to my personal tastes.
