Rivian launches more delivery van sizes in US
Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian has announced the launch of additional sizes of delivery vans for its fleet in the United States. This declaration follows the termination of a federal program aimed at subsidizing EV chargers, which intended to build 500,000 charging stations by 2030, wiht minimal progress reported so far.
Rivian is currently testing its commercial vans with several large fleets to refine its fleet management processes, leading to an expansion in sales. Previously, Amazon had an exclusive arrangement with Rivian for 20,000 vans, while Rivian has committed to fulfilling an order of 100,000 vans by 2030. Following the end of the exclusive deal with Amazon, AT&T has also entered into a contract with Rivian for an undisclosed number of vans.The demand for electric vehicles in the U.S. has surged,with over 1.5 million plug-in and battery electric vehicles sold last year, constituting a meaningful portion of total electric vehicle sales since 2010.
Rivian launches more delivery van sizes in US
Electric vehicle maker Rivian is releasing more delivery vans to its fleet, the company announced Monday.
This comes on the heels of President Donald Trump ending the program that federally subsidized EV chargers. The program had a goal of building 500,000 chargers in the country by 2030. By December 2023, no chargers had been installed, and by February 2025, 55 charging stations were built, according to analytics firm Paren.
“Rivian has been trialing its commercial van with several large fleets in the U.S., and preparing its fleet management process for the mass market,” Rivian said in a statement. “These pilots have paved the way to enable Rivian to open sales further.”
Amazon had an exclusive deal with Rivian for its delivery vans until 2023. The e-commerce company has about 20,000 vans in its fleet. Rivian has a goal to fulfill an order of 100,000 vans by 2030.
After Amazon’s exclusive deal, AT&T started a contract with Rivian for an undisclosed number of vans.
Last year, Americans bought over 1,500,000 plug-in and battery electric vehicles. This was almost a fourth of all electric vehicles purchased since 2010.
