#Rivian

Rivian चा पहिला production R2 Normal, Illinois येथे लाईनवरून उतरला आहे, आणि नवीन मॉडेलच्या launch ला आधार देणाऱ्या सुविधेला tornado नुकसान झाल्यानंतर काही दिवसांतच हे घडले आहे.

Normal, Illinois मधील आपल्या assembly plant साठी 10-MWh energy storage system तयार करण्यासाठी Rivian Redwood Materials ला 100 हून अधिक वापरलेले EV battery packs देणार आहे.

Rivian, Redwood Materials सोबत भागीदारी करून आपल्या Normal, Illinois उत्पादन कारखान्यात दुसऱ्या-जीवनातील बॅटरी ऊर्जा साठवण प्रणाली उभारत आहे, ज्यामुळे EV उत्पादन आणि बॅटरी पुनर्वापर यांना जोडले जात आहे.

New side-by-side images of the Rivian R2 and Tesla Model Y offer an early visual comparison of two electric SUVs that will matter in the mainstream EV market.

VW Group of America says software from its Rivian joint venture will be reserved for future platforms, underscoring how central next-generation vehicle architecture has become to its U.S. plans.

Rivian confirms $45,000 starting price for the R2 SUV with 330 miles of range, though the base model won't arrive until late 2027 as higher trims ship first.

Rivian's upcoming R2 crossover represents the company's most critical bet yet — an affordable EV that must succeed for the automaker to achieve sustainable profitability.

Rivian is launching a separate venture focused on compact electric vehicles and alternative mobility solutions, signaling a strategic shift toward urban transportation and smaller form factors.

EV registrations fell 0.4% in the US last year as federal tax credit elimination and rising prices stalled momentum after years of rapid growth.
