Rivian Automotive, Inc.
Open AtlasRivian Automotive makes battery-electric vehicles and related software, charging, and service for consumers and commercial fleets. Its current lineup centers on the R1T pickup, R1S SUV, and Rivian Commercial Van, and it is preparing to launch its lower-priced R2 midsize SUV platform in Normal, Illinois, with customer deliveries expected soon and broader production planned there. Rivian also sells fleet vans to businesses, including Amazon and other commercial customers, and has begun opening van sales more broadly in the U.S. The company operates direct sales and service locations, mobile service vans, a charging network, and subscription-style software and connectivity features such as Connect+ and driver-assistance tools. It is still loss-making and has relied on outside capital, including a Volkswagen joint venture, a Department of Energy loan, and planned green debt, while also expanding future manufacturing in Georgia.
