The 2026 R1S Dual Max (22in) is a large-range electric SUV on paper, with 410 EPA-rated miles between charges. Its electricity use works out to 39.94 kWh per 100 miles, while the EPA assigns $900 for a year of fuel. The main planning issue is charging: 240 volts requires 15 hours. Part-time 4-wheel drive and the automatic transmission define its drivetrain. It makes sense for an SUV buyer who can schedule charging and wants a clear range target.

Who it suits
This R1S suits a buyer who wants an electric SUV with a long EPA range and part-time 4-wheel drive.
It also fits drivers who can plan around a 15-hour charge at 240 volts and who value an EPA annual fuel-cost figure of $900.
Trade-offs
The range is substantial, but a 240-volt charge takes 15 hours. Energy use is 39.94 kWh per 100 miles, with an 84 MPGe combined rating.
Part-time 4-wheel drive is part of the drivetrain, rather than a full-time 4WD description.
