The video is part of a series in which Rivian (smartly) touts the cold-weather capabilities of their R1T and R1S models. The series was filmed by Rivian Ambassador Ben Moon. We’re told the dog in question is Ben’s mixed breed rescue.

Electric vehicles have received a bad rap in the past for their cold weather performance. While it’s true that batteries experience some capacity loss in severely cold weather, the sheer size of Rivian’s battery pack, up to 180 kWh, means the difference will be much less noticeable. To be fair, cold weather can be tough on all vehicles.
