Overlanding has become extremely popular.

Upon arrival at the destination, overlanders usually camp out using tents integrated into their vehicles.

Choosing an electric car for overlanding offers the best of everything.

One of the benefits is that the battery can be used to power your campsite.

An enormous onboard battery is one of the biggest perks of overlanding an electric vehicle.

Many of the best overlanding EVs will usually be rough-and-tumble electric pickup trucks.

But, with an EV capable of redirecting the juice from its battery, you’re good to go.

Camping with the Lightning should be considered cheating.

The Rivian R1T needs no introduction.

This storage area is great for muddy gear you don’t want to place in your truck’s interior.

The Rivian is also available with a full-on kitchen, which slides out of the aforementioned Gear Tunnel.

Sad news, indeed.

Regardless, if they make the Camp Kitchen even better, the wait will be worth it.

The Rivian R1S is the R1T’s SUV brother.

Don’t mistake this Rivian for a flimsy family hauler, though.

Just because it features an SUV form factor doesn’t mean it isn’t ready for a wild adventure.

The R1S is also equipped with incredible off-road capabilities.

It’s capable of hauling up to 7,700 lbs of whatever your adventure requires.

If you should probably carry a bunch of stuff, the R1S has you covered.

It can swallow up to 104 cu-ft of whatever you should probably take with you.

This is great news if your overlanding adventure includes packing a lot of stuff.

Tesla’s armored pickup truck is definitely the one you want to take while venturing into the unknown.

Another reason the Cybertruck would make an excellent overlanding vehicle is its amazing 500 miles range.
