Imagine a world where delivery vans glide through city streets like silent superheroes. Well, meet Rivian’s all-electric van—a game-changer that’s now available for anyone who wants a greener delivery fleet. Amazon, step aside; this van is open to all.
The company has ended its exclusivity contract with Amazon
What’s It Called? Say hello to the Electric Commercial Van (ECV). It’s like a friendly handshake. Forget the old name (Electric Delivery Van or EDV)—we’ve got a fresh one now. But don’t worry, the “Delivery” vibe still hangs around in the van’s different versions.
Picture two siblings, both front-wheel-drive champs, powered by Rivian’s magic electric motor. They’re cut from the same cloth but wear different outfits. Here they are, listed below:
Delivery 500: The little guy zips around with a 161-mile range on a full charge. Need to haul stuff? No problem—it can carry up to 2,734 pounds. Think of it as a sturdy workhorse. And its cargo space? 487 cubic feet!
Delivery 700: The big sibling. It’s got a 153-mile range, which ain’t too shabby. Payload capacity? A respectable 2,513 pounds. But here’s the cool part: it’s longer, wider, and roomier. Think gentle giant. Its cargo volume? A whopping 652 cubic feet. And the price tag? $87,000.
Now, about that battery—it’s like the van’s core. Rivian’s keeping it mysterious. But we know it’s a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. Charge it up, and it’s ready for action. No worries about it losing steam—it’s built tough.
The Journey Ahead: Remember when Amazon snagged these vans? They ordered 100,000! Now, 10,000 ECVs roam the roads, delivering packages and smiles. Europe got a taste, but the U.S. devoured most. And guess what? Rivian’s sticking to its pact with Amazon while welcoming new partners.
So here’s to the ECV—a promise of cleaner skies and quieter streets. RJ Scaringe, Rivian’s CEO, says it best: “Let’s cut emissions, one electric van at a time.” Amazon, Rivian, and the road ahead—they’re all part of this journey.
