Along with new, higher range ratings for models with Dual Motor models, Rivian revealed that the smaller, mass-market R2 lineup will be simplified and easier to build.

Directing chilled area to the battery packs of electric trucks as they're charged may help speed up charging, a patent suggests.

The EV maker has sound engineers record birds in Yellowstone National Park; it then isolated one part, sped it up, and increased the pitch.

The Rivian EDV is an electric delivery van designed by Amazon with the goal of changing the delivery game.

Rivian is readying its own dual-motor components for the R1S and R1T and aiming to make them the popular choice over far more expensive-to-build quad-motor trucks.

The award applies to 2022 and 2023 R1T models, but it doesn't extend to the related R1S SUV.

The R2 family, which hasn't yet been shown or detailed, will be built at Rivian's Georgia plant somewhat later than previously said.

The recall involves the R1T, R1S, and EDV—nearly all the electric trucks the EV maker has built, including 12,212 delivered to customers

Rivian has said will that the $5 billion factory, due to debut the manufacture of the electric truck maker's R2 model lineup in 2024, will create 7,500 jobs

The two companies aim to share costs around manufacturing electric vans, with plans for a factory in Europe.

The changes apply to both the R1T and R1S. Customers have until September 1 to reconfigure their pre-orders or cancel them.

Three first sites open in Colorado and California this week, allowing Rivian drivers to recover up to 140 miles of range in 20 minutes.

Rivian has made a total of 5,000 trucks cumulatively. But it has 10,000 new preorders, for trucks costing an average $93,000, since raising prices on its trucks by as much as $12,000 in March.

Rivian outsourced its motors to help accelerate the launch timeline for its R1T and R1S trucks. But it's planning to phase in its own motor design.

Rivian will follow Tesla in making its base battery pack based on LFP cells. It also released more information on its Dual Motor models and upcoming 800V upgrades.

Rivian blamed supply chain issues for what's essentially a pricing repositioning of its vehicles—with a price hike of roughly 20% for the R1S.

Rivian outlines all the specialized modes allowed by the R1T electric truck, its air suspension, and four-motor system.

The situation closely parallels Tesla's Giga Texas dilemma. Current laws prohibit automakers from selling cars directly to customers, but legislation could change that.

Under Canvas camping sites, which offer "indoor luxuries" at wilderness locations, will host Rivian Waypoint chargers.

Rivian's Waypoint network will give weekend warriors more places to add some charge while they're out hiking or mountain-biking.
