The Rivian-made Amazon electric delivery van (EDV) has attracted an unusual amount of attention for what is basically a box van for delivering parcels, like the ones that have existed for decades. What makes it special is the fact that it’s electric, it’s made by Rivian, which is a trendy EV startup that makes cool off-road vehicles, and it looks quite futuristic.
Even Doug DeMuro thought it appropriate to review the Rivian EDV, probably making it the first such vehicle that he’s ever featured on his channel. Doug did review vans in the past, but they were always quirky and unusual or highly customized RV; none were simple delivery vans.
