Rumors leaked last week, and now it\u2019s official: the Rivian Commercial Van is now available to order for fleets of any size, even down to a single van \u2013\u00a0but still only for businesses, not individuals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rivian first announced it would make electric delivery vans in 2019, as part of a partnership with Amazon, who ordered 100,000 of the vehicles<\/a>. The company has delivered around 20,000 of the vans to Amazon so far.<\/p>\n

The Amazon agreement included a 4 year exclusivity period, where Rivian would only sell vans to Amazon, and no other buyers. That exclusivity period ended in November 2023, and Rivian has been offering up its van to other partners.<\/p>\n

When that period ended, Rivian also renamed its vehicle from the \u201cElectric Delivery Van\u201d to \u201cRivian Commercial Vehicle,\u201d indicating that it would like to sell it for purposes other than deliveries \u2013\u00a0think contractors, handymen, food trucks (please! I hate smelling exhaust instead of food!) and so on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for Rivian to get some interest from other firms<\/a>, and we\u2019ve seen spy photos of Rivian vans in other liveries roaming around. But we haven\u2019t heard any other huge agreements since the exclusivity period ended.<\/p>\n

But today, instead of aiming for large contracts and partnerships like the Amazon deal, Rivian is now introducing a fleet sales program that will take orders from fleets of any size \u2013 even as small as a single van.<\/p>\n

The RCV comes in two separate models \u2013 RCV 500 and RCV 700. The latter is both longer and wider, with much more cargo space.<\/p>\n

*Estimated range depends on a number of factors, including load weight, which can vary widely on commercial vehicles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As with most commercial sales, these are obviously the pre-upfit prices. Your final cost will depend on what sort of upfitting you need to do. Rivian says that its Fleet Sales team will work with buyers to discuss specific upfit needs, or you can always take it to whichever upfitter you already use.<\/p>\n
