The R1S Premium Long Range (20in AT) makes sense for buyers who prioritize a long electric driving distance in an SUV body. Its EPA estimate covers 370 miles, while the yearly electricity figure is $950. Charging requires 15 hours at 240 volts, so home-charging time matters as much as range. Part-time four-wheel drive is included, and the combined rating is 78 MPGe. If those figures fit your driving pattern, this model offers a clear operating profile; if charging speed is your main concern, examine that 15-hour figure closely.
