You may be forgiven for not knowing much about Rivian, a Californian electric car company founded in 2009. But that’s about to change, as its third EV, to be called the R2, is destined for Europe.
To be revealed on 7 March, the R2 will be smaller than its predecessors, the R1S (an electric SUV) and the R1T (a closely related pickup truck built on the same platform). Those more compact dimensions should make the R2 feel at home on our narrow European streets, while still sharing plenty of Rivian DNA.
