This is the best summary I could come up with:
Amazon, which owns a stake in Rivian, reached a deal with the automaker in 2019 to have at least 100,000 electric delivery vans on the road by 2030.
Amazon began rolling out its electric delivery vans in the summer 2022.
The custom electric delivery van is one of three vehicles that Rivian is developing or producing.
Rivian said earlier this month it expects to produce 52,000 vehicles — a group that includes the vans — by the end of the year.
The vehicles, which are assembled at Rivian’s factory in Normal, Illinois, share some of the same design features found in today’s gas-powered versions.
The real difference is in the electric architecture and the custom features that have been integrated into the vans, including highway driving and traffic assist features, exterior cameras that can provide a 360-degree view for the driver via a digital display and surround tail lights for better braking visibility.
