Rivian is now selling electric trucks to anyone who wants one

The automobile company said today that the Rivian’s Electric Van is now available to buy it by anyone with a commercial fleet.

For several years, the Rivian car was exclusive to Amazon. Now, the platform on which the e -commerce company relies on its delivery vehicle is open to anyone with a fleet of commercial vehicles and some money to be burned.

Amazon agreed to purchase 1000,000 Rivian trucks in 2019 as part of a wonderful deal that will also include a billion dollars in start -up. Under the terms of the agreement, Rivian will sell its trucks exclusively to Amazon.

But that partnership It ended prematurely in November 2023With only Amazon gets about 20,000 trucks from Rivian – or about 20 percent of the original commitment. Amazon is still the largest shareholder in Review, with an estimated 17 percent in the company.

Reminy says she will sell anywhere from one car to thousands to individual buyers, depending on their needs. However, trucks cannot be for personal use (sorry #vanlifers) and should be recorded as part of business. Trucks come in sizes and two prices: RCV 500 starts from 79,900 dollars, while RCV 700 starts from 83,900 dollars.

Reminy says it has spent time since the end of the unique deal with Amazon, who tried the truck in some big fleets (Like AT & T‘s), while building services and software for its future customers.

“During the past year, we have focused our tests on the test with some large fleets, and we are really happy with how these experiences are going.” “As a result, we are now excited to be able to open sales on fleets of all sizes in the United States, whether they want one car or thousands.”

The ability to sell its electrical trucks to a wide range of customers can be useful for the financial situation of Rivian, which has been relatively fragile over the past few years. Vans has better profit margins than R1T and R1S compounds for the company. Rivian can also sell subscriptions in various program features inside the truck, which enhances its long -term value in general.
