Rivian CEO says EV market suffers from a lack of choice
  + stars: | 2024-01-26 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe on Friday discussed the electric vehicle market with CNBC's Jim Cramer, saying EV automakers need to give consumers a wider variety of models to choose from. "What I think we're witnessing today is a lack of choice," Scaringe said. Rivian is trying to broaden its offerings with a new line of R2 vehicles, which Scaringe will be smaller and less expensive than current Rivian models. Even Tesla , one of the few profitable EV companies, cut costs last year, reducing prices of new cars by 20%. But Scaringe said he's confident the world will eventually make a lasting shift to EVs, saying government policies will drive that change.

Nov 20 (Reuters) - Rivian Automotive (RIVN.O) said on Monday that CEO RJ Scaringe would directly oversee all product development effective immediately as the electric-vehicle maker gears up to unveil and launch its smaller and cheaper vehicle family. Chief Product Development Officer Nick Kalayjian would move to the role of executive vice president, vehicle engineering and propulsion before transitioning to an advisory role, the company said. "It's a big year for product for Rivian, so RJ is doubling down on the introduction of our new technologies in 2024 and the design and development of R2," a spokesperson for Rivian told Reuters. The company's product reporting structure will include software, autonomy, design, vehicle, electrical, propulsion and programs categories, Rivian said. "I know that (Scaringe) spending more time working with our product teams will create significant value for all of us and our shareholders," Kalayjian, who joined Rivian in 2020, said in another internal email seen by Reuters.

Despite supply chain visibility improving, the guidance baked in some lingering risks, Scaringe had told Reuters in August while raising its target by 2,000 vehicles. Rivian's cash balance as of Sept. 30 was estimated to be at $9.1 billion, down from $10.2 billion in June.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21 (Reuters) - Rivian (RIVN.O) has acquired Swedish EV route planning app maker Iternio to add its technology to its electric pickups and sport utility vehicles, as well use its data to better expand its own charging network, its CEO told Reuters on Wednesday. Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe did not disclose the value of the deal but said it was closed in the first quarter. Scaringe said Rivian would invest in improving and growing ABRP as a stand-alone app for users of other EVs and integrate Iternio's technology into its mobile app and in-vehicle navigation system. Iternio was founded in 2018 and operates two lines of business: the ABRP app, which is the consumer-facing side, and a back end where it provides routing data services for other entities.

EV maker Rivian to adopt Tesla's charging standard

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20 (Reuters) - Electric vehicle maker Rivian (RIVN.O) said on Tuesday it has agreed to adopt Tesla's (TSLA.O) charging standard, giving Rivian customers access to the biggest U.S. charging network and adding momentum to Tesla's bid to set the industry standard. Rivian also said it will make a Tesla-style charging port standard on its vehicles starting in 2025. While other automakers get access to Tesla's charging network, Tesla stands to profit from selling power to a bigger group of electric vehicle drivers. Tesla's charging standard had been proprietary until November, when it made the design and specifications public and rebranded the technology as the North American Charging Standard (NACS). "It's great to see the industry coming together to adopt the North American Charging Standard," Tesla's senior director of charging infrastructure, Rebecca Tinucci, said in a statement.

Electric vehicle maker Rivian Automotive on Tuesday reported a first-quarter loss that was narrower than expected and said it's still on track to meet a 50,000-vehicle production target for 2023. Here's how the company did as per consensus analyst estimates by Refinitiv:Loss per share: $1.25 adjusted vs. $1.59 expected. Revenue: $661 million vs. $652.1 million expected. Rivian's net loss narrowed to $1.35 billion, or $1.45 per share, from $1.59 billion, or $1.77 per share, during the year-earlier period. Rivian said on April 3 that it built 9,395 EVs in the first quarter and delivered 7,946 vehicles to customers.
Automakers are already racing to secure limited raw materials. download the app Email address By clicking ‘Sign up’, you agree to receive marketing emails from Insider as well as other partner offers and accept our Terms of Service and Privacy PolicyStellantis' CEO doesn't think there are enough raw materials readily available to meet electric vehicle needs. "The affordability is not there, because the raw materials are scarce and very expensive, and I would add very volatile," Tavares said. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has emphasized just how much of a challenge getting these materials will be for EV-makers. Even mining executives have expressed concern that demand for these materials continues to outstrip the current available supply.
Rivian runs the risk of alienating customers who have been waiting years for their vehicles. He's hedged his bet on Rivian with orders for the Tesla Cybertruck and the electric Ram 1500. Some feel embarrassed by their early support of Rivian while their wait times increase to nearly half a decade. Rivian has previously said timing of deliveries is "based on a number of factors, including delivery location, configuration and original preorder or reservation date."

The pandemic, the shift to EVs, and supply chain problems are all to blame. GM's Bowling Green plant will stop Corvette output this week due to a "parts supply issue." Despite tailwinds like huge profits, high demand, and low inventory, automakers are bracing themselves for more disruptions. The relationship between automakers and their parts companies has never been perfect, but it's especially challenging of late even as the two remain codependent. Now, parts companies are struggling amid macroeconomic concerns, inflation, in addition to the transition to EV components (or risking becoming defunct), and that will impact the automakers they supply to.
