Rivian has a deeply comprehensive operating system, and just like your phone or laptop, you can have the vehicle display a specific name in the app, on your Rivian account, and within the vehicle itself. This could be just for fun, but it could also be helpful in identifying your vehicle if you have multiple Rivian vehicles or multiple EVs in a third-party app.
You can name the vehicle anything you’d like. You can even include emojis in the vehicle name.
No matter what Rivian you’re using – an R1T or R1S today, or an R2 or R3 in the future, you can name it through one of two methods.
Inside the Car
The first method is inside the vehicle. To name your car, go to Settings, and then the About menu. You can tap the vehicle name field here and name your vehicle.
Using the App & Emojis
Alternatively, you can launch the Rivian app and long-press on the vehicle’s name to name it in the app. One advantage of using the app to name your vehicle is that you can easily add emojis to your vehicle’s name. If your vehicle name includes emojis, they’ll be displayed inside the vehicle too.
Naming a Fleet Vehicle
If you’re a fleet manager, you can rename the vehicles through the Rivian FleetOS control software. The FleetOS control software is currently the only way to change the display name of Rivian EDVs.
