Every EV fleet i've talked to placed the range at <= 100 mi.


I see I misunderstood the question & context. The rivian delivery van is about 100 miles apparently, but that's only because the customer, amazon, gave them specs to meet. All they have to do is add more batteries to get more range. I could pull the rivian ev delivery truck on a trailer behind my r1t and get 150 miles easy, and at slow city speeds probably more. My truck probably cost a good bit more than a delivery van, but has better specs.

I thought the question wasn't about the delivery vehicle, I thought it was asking about rivians in general. There's nothing limiting that range inherently, it doesn't have the greatest aerodynamics, but the goal is carry all those packages.
