Rivian delivered 19,248 vehicles in the US during the third quarter, a figure that put the company in second place among individual EV brands, trailing only Tesla. The result came in a contracting but rebounding market. Overall EV sales are still far below last year but higher than in the spring.
Cox Automotive's separate estimate of 19,239 units lines up almost exactly. Either number is enough to leapfrog Chevrolet, which held that spot a year ago. For shoppers wondering if Rivian can supply a car at scale, this quarter answers that question.
