Amazon is committed to adding 100,000 Rivian electric vans to its delivery fleet by 2030. And, if 2025 is any indication, they’re well on their way — the company grew its Rivian van fleet by more than 50% in 2025, alone.
When Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge in 2019, it announced plans to put 100,000 electric delivery vans on the road. When we checked on their progress in mid-2024, the house that Bezos built was on its way toward putting its 20,000th van into service — and now, according to Rivian’s Q4 earnings letter, Amazon has grown that number to more than 30,000 Rivian vans.
Our partnership with Amazon remains strong. Amazon now has over 30,000 custom-built Rivian Electric Delivery Vans (EDV) delivering packages across thousands of cities in the US. Rivian Commercial Vans have been specifically designed around the delivery process to minimize the total cost per package delivered through features such as an automatic bulkhead door that opens as the driver gets to their destination, as well as bringing a significant total cost of ownership reduction relative to internal combustion engine delivery vans.
In addition to the EDV FWD standard battery pack variant already on the road, we are developing new variants of the van with a larger battery pack and AWD. The larger battery brings a 30% increase in range, while all wheel drive improves traction in conditions like mud and snow. These new variants will expand EDV route coverage in Amazon’s network.
Volume production of Rivian’s Amazon-spec delivery van began in 2022, which means the company needed more than three years to deliver those 30,000 vans to the boys in blue. At that rate, it seems unlikely they’ll meet that 100,000 unit delivery goal, but every indication points to Rivian having “charged up” vehicle production of all types over the past year.
And, with the upcoming launch of the new Rivian R2 midszied SUV and the hotly anticipated R3 compact crossover waiting in the wings of the in-progress Georgia factory, it seems like Rivian is starting to figure out how to build cars — even if it is hard.
Additionally, Amazon has installed over 17,000 EV chargers at 120 of its delivery centers to help keep its Rivian fleet up and running with zero tailpipe emissions, making it one of (if not the) largest private charge point operators in the world.
Electrek’s Take
It’s hard not to get excited about numbers like these. Replacing 100,000 gas and diesel delivery vans with 100,000 electric vans by 2030 will make a huge difference in the lives of the drivers, the air quality of the neighborhoods they drive in, and — well, everybody!
We love to see it.
