    Rivian claims No. 2 US EV rank in August on 87% surge in Amazon delivery van volume

    Question

    Rivian claims No. 2 US EV rank in August on 87% surge in Amazon delivery van volume

    Direct answer

    August registration data showed Rivian ascending to the second spot in overall U.S. electric vehicle volumes, delivering 33% year-over-year registration growth against a broader 36% decline across the domestic EV category. Volume gains were anchored by commercial fleet deliveries, where electric delivery vans supplied to Amazon rose 87% year-over-year. The performance occurred as initial registrations for Rivian's R2 vehicle platform entered reporting tallies.
