Kyle Conner Came to Play

We spent the first week of February at King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley, one of our favorite events of the year. Optima Batteries has been hosting a special EV off-road day for the past few years, and this one didn't disappoint. With expert guides from Rivian Clubs and Rivian Official, we tackled a serious variety of terrain in R1Ts, R1Ss, Cybertrucks, and a Silverado Trail Boss piloted by Kyle Conner from Out of Spec Studios. Watching what these vehicles could do out there never gets old.

At the end of the day, Kyle asked if he could do a video about our products. We said yes before he finished the sentence. Seeing his genuine excitement about what we've built was one of those moments that reminds you why you started all this in the first place.

We hope you enjoy the video! And if you think he missed anything, reach out and we'll be happy to fill you in. In true Kyle fashion, our planned 5-minute conversation stretched to more than 20, so we're pretty sure we covered it all.
