Tesla rival gets $1.3 billion boost, including cash from Amazon
Rivian's electric pickup truck and SUV haven't come out yet, but Amazon and other investors keep pouring money into the Tesla competitor.
On Monday, Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe announced it raised a whopping $1.3 billion, with investments from Amazon, Ford, and investment firms. This follows the Amazon-led back in February.
Rivian wouldn't disclose how much of the $1.3 billion was from Amazon. Amazon previously announced plans to convert its delivery fleet to Rivian electric vans by 2022.
The truck and SUV start at $69,000 with only preorders available now.
The funding news comes as fellow U.S.-based electric vehicle company Tesla hit a $420 stock price.
