Amazon and Rivian plan to bring thousands of custom electric delivery vehicles to more than 100 cities by the end of this year, and 100,000 across the U.S. by 2030. The vehicles are designed with safety, sustainability, and comfort in mind, and have been thoroughly tested by drivers across the country. The custom electric vehicles are made at Rivian’s factory in Normal, Illinois, about two hours southwest of Chicago.

On another front, earlier in the week (July 20), the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) announced it will make 40% of its new trucks electric, up from the agency's previous 10% commitment.
