Recently, we met with Rivian’s Founder and CEO, Robert “RJ” Scaringe, for an in-depth look into the wild Rivian adventure. What we found was a dynamic team building products on an unfulfilled segment of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution — SUVs and pickup trucks. Now, finally, America has what it’s been waiting for — it’s big, it’s green, it’s off-road, and it’s electric.
The clean energy vehicle revolution is giving rise to a new generation of Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric vehicles that are largely being ushered into the market by a new breed of startups.
The most popular CleanTechnica stories of the past month, surprisingly, led with a story about why to not buy a Tesla. (Sort of.)
Rivian took the Los Angeles Auto Show by storm for the reveal of its fully electric truck and SUV. Both are based on the same skateboard-style electric chassis, which will be available with three different battery sizes for a maximum range of 400+ miles per charge in the largest configuration.
The 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show is over and leaves us with a few questions, observations, and trends to report back. In this first part, we take a look at startups and how they go head to head against more established carmakers, as well as the difference between the media days and public days. In part 2, we will look more closely at traditional carmakers.
Rivian rolled into Los Angeles in grand style with not one, but two, new fully electric vehicles that have been crafted to bring sport and utility into the world of electric vehicles.
