Looking Ahead to 2025
The $6.6 billion loan and the potential impact of the Trump administration on EV tax credits are key factors for Rivian in 2025. The company aims to begin production of the R2 SUV in the first half of 2026. The evolving landscape of government regulations and incentives will play a significant role in Rivian's progress.
