Rivian has installed a new electrical architecture and computing platform for the second-generation R1T and R1S.
When the Rivian R1T and R1S launched in 2021 and 2022, they broke new ground in their own ways. The R1T was North America’s first modern electric truck, while the R1S offered a genuine three-row electric SUV experience, unlike the compromised three-rows of the Tesla Model Y and Model X. Both Rivians received rave reviews, from InsideEVs included. However, customers faced teething issues related to software and maintenance.
They send power and signals to different components and systems: lights, switches, speakers, cameras, you name it. Zonal architecture refers to EVs having different zones for wiring harnesses and modules. Instead of having a centralized wiring system with long cables connecting all components, zonal architecture organizes the wiring into smaller, more manageable sections. Traditionally, cars have had miles of wiring harnesses that add weight and complexity.
