Rivian Begins Production of R2 Electric Vehicle at Illinois Plant
Rivian has started production of its new R2 all-electric vehicle at its Normal, Illinois plant, with customer deliveries scheduled for later this spring. The $58,000 launch model features a 330-mile range and dual motors, while a more affordable $45,000 version won't arrive until late 2027. The company aims to attract more buyers and achieve profitability with this less expensive EV, which resembles its flagship R1 SUV.
