The two battery packs – which are claimed to have a greater energy density than that used in the existing R1T pick-up and R1S SUV – will be capable of recharging from 10-80% in less than 30 minutes.
All versions of the R2 will yield more than 300 miles of range between charges, and the quickest-accelerating variants will dispatch the 0-60mph sprint in less than 3.0sec.
Pricing for the R2 will open at $45,000 (£35,300), which aims it squarely at the Model Y and the Volkswagen ID 4, given export and homologation costs for European models will probably nudge that price past the £40,000 mark.
The R2 will also major on autonomous driving functionality. It will pack 11 cameras, five radars and a more powerful on-board computer than that in the R1.
The R3 will be a much smaller, more affordable model that uses the same underpinnings and has a similar dynamic brief.
