The American e-commerce giant increased its U.S. EDV fleet by 50% in roughly nine months.
If you order something with Amazon Prime, there’s a higher chance that you’ll see a Rivian Electric Delivery Van at your doorstep compared to last year. That’s because the American e-commerce giant just announced it increased its EDV fleet in the United States by 50%. Amazon now has over 15,000 Rivian battery-powered vans shipping parcels across the country, 5,000 more than it had in October of last year.
It’s quite an ambitious plan, but one that could be slightly delayed, seeing how the 10,000-unit mark was supposed to be recorded in 2022 but it only happened in October 2023. Furthermore, the rate at which Rivian delivered electric vans to Amazon has dropped compared to the previous milestones. It took Rivian a year to deliver the first 5,000 units, then four months for another 5,000. Since then, it took nine months for the latest 5,000 EVs to be delivered.
