Working as an Amazon delivery driver has become a whole lot better for those who are now behind the wheel of a Rivian-made delivery van. We’ve seen some videos from drivers themselves showing off the EDV’s multitude of unique features, but now they have caught the attention of CNBC, which followed one driver around to see what it’s like to operate one of these EVs for a day.
There are now over 1,000 Amazon EDVs in service after having been initially rolled out in Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, San Diego, St. Louis, Seattle, Nashville, Las Vegas and Phoenix, among others (already up to 100 cities, according to Amazon). The rollout began in July and continued through 2022, representing a small fraction of the order it placed with Rivian for 100,000 vans to be delivered by 2030.
