Rivian Climbs to Second Place in US EV Sales as R2 Rollout Begins

Rivian has surged from tenth to second in U.S. electric vehicle sales, leapfrogging legacy automakers amid rising deliveries. The jump was powered by strong demand for its commercial electric vans alongside early customer deliveries of the new R2 platform. The milestone solidifies Rivian's position as Tesla's primary domestic competitor in the American pure-EV market.
