Rivian is a relatively new name in the electric vehicle industry, having only debuted its pickup truck and SUV.
Amazon didn’t reveal any details about the vehicle’s drivetrain, battery, range, or other relevant specifications. Naturally, it will also come integrated with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant for hands-free navigation help and weather updates. The driver-side door will be strengthened for added protection, while the rear of the vehicle will have three levels of shelving with a bulkhead door for quick access.
Rivian has shown off two vehicles so far: the R1T pickup and the R1S SUV. Built on the same technological platform, Rivian claims its vehicles — which will start at around $70,000 — will be able to travel up to around 400 miles on a single charge, hit 60 miles per hour in under three seconds, and eventually be able to drive themselves in some capacity.
