The 2023 Rebelle Rally, an off-road map-and-compass rally, made history this year when a team driving the all-electric Rivian R1T took first place in the 4×4 class. This is the first time an electric vehicle has won the rally. The team, consisting of Rivian employees Lilly Macaruso and Alex Anderson, made some interior modifications to stay organized during the event. The rally has also served as a proving ground for Rivian, allowing the company to fine-tune their technology and features based on feedback from participants. The rally also faced the challenge of charging EVs in remote areas, but they partnered with Renewable Innovations to provide hydrogen-powered chargers.
