Introducing the Rivian R1S Patrol Upfit: Fully Equipped for Duty

Patrol EV is proud to unveil our latest innovation: a Rivian R1S upfit engineered to full police patrol specifications. As a Rivian Preferred Upfitter, we bring together advanced EV technology with the rugged, mission-ready features law enforcement agencies demand.


Purpose-Built for Patrol

The Rivian R1S is already a powerhouse — an all-electric SUV with unmatched acceleration, off-road capability, and range. Our upfit takes it to the next level, transforming the R1S into a dependable patrol platform capable of handling urban streets, highways, and rugged terrain with equal confidence.


Emergency Lighting & Controls

To ensure maximum visibility and officer safety, we integrated the Whelen Core emergency lighting system. This advanced setup provides customizable light patterns, syncs with sirens, and offers intuitive control for officers in the field. The seamless integration ensures compliance with patrol standards while maintaining the Rivian’s sleek design.

  • Patrol EV Auxiliary Power System (APS): A proper and safe 12v high amperage, Rivian-integrated power system.  This is a requirement for feeding all upfit lighting, sirens, cameras, radios and more.

Ergonomic Command Center

Inside, the cabin is optimized for efficiency and comfort with a Gamber Johnson center console. Designed specifically for law enforcement, it provides secure mounting for radios, laptops, and other mission-critical equipment while preserving easy access to vehicle controls.


Cargo & Equipment Management

Police work requires smart storage solutions, and our upfit delivers:

Together, these systems maximize cargo space while keeping equipment secure and within reach.


Exterior Enhancements

The Patrol EV R1S isn’t just functional — it’s built to withstand the demands of patrol duty:

These upgrades reinforce the R1S’s strength and ensure long-lasting service in the field.


The Future of Patrol Vehicles

This Rivian R1S upfit represents the next evolution in electric patrol vehicles: sustainable, powerful, and designed around officer needs. With zero tailpipe emissions and lower long-term operating costs, departments can modernize their fleets without compromising performance.

Patrol EV is proud to set the standard for Rivian police upfits, and we’re excited to help agencies transition to electric patrol duty — without compromise.
