Rivian coming to UK with all-electric delivery van launch


Rivian’s all-electric commercial van comes in two variants: the 500 Series and the 700 Series, using advanced Lithium Ferrophosphate (LFP) battery technology and offering flexible solutions for daily logistics operations.

Known for its durability and cost-effectiveness, the LFP battery offers advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries, such as improved thermal stability and longer lifespan.

Both vans feature front-wheel drive with a single motor capable of delivering 320 horsepower, a robust solution for urban environments. Additionally, the 100kW DC fast-charging capability ensures that drivers can quickly recharge and get back on the road.

The vans’ dimensions further add to their versatility. The 500 Series measures 248 inches, while the 700 Series extends to 278 inches, enabling businesses to choose a size that fits their delivery needs.

Despite their size, the vans maintain a manageable curb weight, with the 500 Series at 6,837 lbs and the 700 Series at 7,242 lbs, striking a balance between carrying capacity and maneouverability.

British companies, aiming to meet stringent environmental standards, are likely to find Rivian’s new vans a fitting solution. The vans not only help companies reduce their carbon footprint but also align with the UK’s ambitious goals for zero-emission zones.

The 500 Series is  priced at $79,990.00 (£63,500.00), and is equipped with a 100 kWh LFP battery, promising an EPA range of 161 miles.

Meanwhile, the 700 Series also offers comparable range, ensuring both variants suit the demands of various UK logistics companies.

Both models are scheduled to arrive in the UK in April.
