Rivian’s Arrival in the Great White North
After five years of quietly making its mark across the border, Rivian is finally spicing up its Canadian operations. While the early days of Rivian were all about dazzling electric passenger vehicles, they’ve decided to bring the party to delivery vans. Yep, you heard right! This time it’s not just about stunning r1 models; Rivian’s electric delivery vans are ready to impress our maple syrup-loving neighbors.
Amazon’s Canadian Conquest
In a groundbreaking move, Amazon is rolling out its fleet of Rivian’s electric delivery vans in none other than the picturesque Vancouver. Just when you thought you’d seen it all with their Prime deliveries, this electric twist is sure to charge up the excitement (pun intended!). With the initial batch of Rivian EDV-700 models hitting the ground late last year in the U.S., it seems like these vans are ready to make their Canadian debut with all the flair of a late-night infomercial.
The Electric Future Ahead
Now, you might be asking: what’s the story behind Amazon’s massive commitment to Rivian? Back in 2019, they put their money where their mouth is, betting on 100,000 vehicles as part of a whopping $700 million investment. Fast forward to today, and you can already spot these electric beauties making deliveries across the U.S. With Canada finally joining the electric party, we can’t wait to see those Rivian delivery vans zip around Vancouver, bringing not just packages but a whole new era of transportation. So, buckle up, Canada! The future is electric, and it’s just got a whole lot greener!
