The 2025.18 update is now rolling out internally to Rivian employees. Based on past rollouts, we can expect to see it reach customer vehicles within the next two weeks—and it’s a solid one.
Multi-factor Drive is finally here. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring app-based authentication before you can drive. It works with your phone or smartwatch and even offers a backup passcode. You’ll need the latest Rivian app (v3.1+) to enable it.
The Energy app just got a big upgrade. You’ll now get real-time energy insights while driving or parked, a visual charging graph, usage breakdowns, and the ability to precondition the battery on-demand for faster DC fast charging.
Charging is also getting faster. Gen 1 sees improved Max pack performance, while Gen 2 gets charging optimizations across all battery sizes—with Large packs seeing more range added in the first 15 minutes.
Other updates:
- Smoother infotainment and media app performance
- Updated vehicle visuals on the driver display
- Smarter Gear Guard handling (Gen 2 only)
- Improved low-voltage battery health (Gen 2 only)
