Written By Jackson Hartwell

In the last quarter of 2023, the electric vehicle market has witnessed tremendous growth. Rivian’s CEO, RJ Scaringe, declared that the company has gone through a 50% increase in the production of their EVs. If you are one of those who believe the EV market will not survive the inflation, then they are wrong. 

Although this sector is newly founded and every newfound project has to go through extreme criticism, it doesn’t mean that this electric vehicle company will go down with the current economic conditions. It is noted that this company intends to give tough competition to big names like Tesla.

When this company started, it had one goal: to make sure the world gets more options for EVs in the market. This shows the clear intention of the company. They want to target the market segment which looks forward to adopting an EV lifestyle but is stopped by the lack of options. In a recent interview, CEO RJ Scaringe highlighted that the reason that stops people from investing in EVs is the lack of affordability and the lack of options. 

Production and Affordability

The company is set to increase its production to meet affordability criteria. How is that so? The company will spread the high fixed costs emerging from the production facilities and raw materials into the wide range of output (EVs) produced. In this way, the recurring costs will decrease. 

This is where the company wants to hit the market by storm. These vehicles can work beyond the limits of an average electric vehicle because they are built with impressive capabilities. Rivian’s R1T line is known for its amazing performance and off-roading capabilities. 

What sets them apart is the long-term vision they have for the company. In 2023, the company announced that they are planning to create a product line that is smaller and more affordable in 2026. Their plan entailing the manufacture of SUVs in 2026 will make their space in the EV market. Stay tuned, as they will share a glimpse of the new product on March 7, 2024

Besides their promise of making the EV market affordable with more options, the company is open to new collaborations with industry giants. For example, according to reports, more tech-based businesses are reaching Rivian for partnership and strategic collaboration for business prospects. 

Collaborations And Future Prospects

Companies like Amazon and Ford have already made their moves in 2029. Amazon has invested $700 million in Rivian in a joint agreement to get 100k electric vans for delivery. Isn’t this amazing? The world’s number 1 e-commerce store will use sustainable means for delivering your products. 

On the other hand, Ford invested $500 million in Rivian to collaborate on a project. However, things didn’t go as expected, so they had to call it off. 

These collaborations were meant to provide huge capital, expertise for production margins, and visibility for a broader market. Moreover, this reach gained more potential clients for the company. 

Since we know the company has a name for eco-friendly practices, every aspect of its production line, business operations, and power is carried through renewable or sustainable sources. With products like recyclable batteries and goals with carbon-neutral targets, they are aligning with the current needs of the world and environmentally conscious consumers.

What Role Does Rivian Play In The EV Market?

Rivian, the EV maker, wants to make its mark in the EV market by not being just a carmaker but by being a company that goes beyond carmaking. The company’s goals are strategic as they tend to focus on innovative features to make sure their vehicles go with their commitment towards sustainability. This goal positions them as a key leader of EVs in the United States. 

If you look at the last quarter of the company, it has exploded with growth. For the very first time, this newfound company appeared in the California New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA), making it great news.

If we narrow it down to California, we can see that Rivian made news for having the highest growth rate among the car makers in California. Being a relatively new electric car manufacturer, the company saw tremendous growth of 200% as compared to previous years.

Targeting A Specific Consumer Base

Rivian has been a leader in EVs, focusing on pickup trucks, but later, in 2023, they announced that the company would be producing more family-friendly SUVs to fulfil the needs of the masses. Focus on the pickup trucks and SUVs!

Are you getting the point? This shows that the company is addressing the needs of a Pacific type of consumer. The US EV market is currently dominated by sedans and hatchbacks as their demand is high. Rivian wants to attract the attention of consumers who are looking for adventure, utility, and off-road thrills with these EV options. 

This kind of consumer need is fulfilled by pickup trucks or SUVs. Rivian provides just that but with the concept of sustainability in mind. The products that this EV company offers tap the growing demand in the United States, making it a tough competitor. 

At the same time, the company wants to avoid the hassle of directly competing with existing giants like Tesla. That’s why Rivian’s market share is not divided or distracted. 

Technology And Electric Transition

You can’t overlook the technological advancements that this EV company has to offer by offering products like R1T and R1S. The company prides itself on its adaptive suspension and driver-assist systems. When you come to think of it, these advancements push the boundaries and make the sector unpredictable by stating what is possible and what is not.

As we said earlier, the company intends to make EVs more accessible to a wider consumer base by making them affordable. They want to create a balance between production scales and their technology automation so that they can reduce the price without any hindrances. 

Final Thoughts

Don’t forget that Rivian, the EV company’s future, is quite promising as the leaders are focused on overcoming the drawbacks and working on growth. The best thing for them is that they don’t have to go through first-hand challenges as they get the chance to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors. Let’s see what role Rivian will play in the future.
