As someone who loves to drive their car out on the beach and stay out for as long as 24 hours in a row, a cooktop is truly a necessity.

Perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and compact enough to fit inside a trunk or bed without taking up too much space, a cooktop is something that everyone from the casual camper or the hardcore outdoorsman will appreciate.

The Rivian Travel Kitchen is specially engineered for Rivian vehicles and fits on any tabletop surface that is within reach of a power source. It includes a carrying case, Hangout Lights and poles, a cutting board, and a drawer for storage of utensils.

How it Works

The induction cooktop includes two burners and can be powered by the R1T or R1S or a 120V power source with at least 15A of current.

The burners will share 1500W, and you can use all 1500 on one or split between the two. It uses a touch-control panel and will only transfer heat with an induction-capable pot or pan. This makes it super safe and will keep you from burning yourself.

Easy Transport and Designed for Travel

The Travel Kitchen can be stored in the R1T gear tunnels, R1 front trunks, or any trunk until it is ready to be used.

It comes with a carrying case and has ergonomic handles for easy carrying.

It also uses sustainable materials throughout to align with Rivian’s mission. The cutting board, for example, is made from recycled materials. The inside of the kitchen is also made from castor plants.

Additionally, induction cooktops are more environmentally friendly than gas or wood.

Accessories

The Travel Kitchen features things like Hangout Lights and retractable poles that can be used for nighttime cooking or additional light when hanging out with friends.

The cutting board and drawer are obviously huge advantages for the kitchen.

Availability

The Travel Kitchen is available today and can be yours for $1,400. Check out the awesome video of it in use below:

During an event at the Rivian Space in Pasadena, California over the weekend, employees told X user Sean O’Rourke that the electric vehicle (EV) maker would be launching the “Travel Kitchen” by the end of this month. The accessory includes a fold-out induction stove with two burners, a built-in drawer and a cutting board.

During the event, which was also attended by X user BLKMDL3, Rivian employees were cooking pancakes on the accessory, which attaches directly to the tailgate of the vehicles. Purchase also includes a travel case that the stovetops can be stored in when not in use.

The Travel Kitchen is powered by the truck bed power outlet, and it’s also missing a sink that was initially shown with the accessory upon being unveiled. At $1,400, some commented that the Travel Kitchen is a bit too pricey for their tastes, but it’s hard to deny that Rivian has working hard on outdoor products in keeping with its general adventure theme.

Rivian also offers a few other camping products in its online gear shop, including a three-person tent that’s mounted to the top of the R1S.

As another part of its general outdoor theme, Rivian also debuted its first Charging Outpost outside of Yosemite National Park, featuring an indoor space with snacks, water, coffee, a play area, and a handful of educational activities for children. The EV maker says it plans to launch more Charging Outposts near national parks in the future.

Rivian has also been rolling out charging stations, dubbed the Rivian Adventure Network (RAN), which the company recently announced will open to other EV brands, following suit with Tesla’s Supercharger network.

Rivian R2 will equip important charging port feature for Tesla Supercharger compatibility
