See the shelves and driver's area inside, and get more info on, the electric Amazon Prime cargo van that could be delivering your packages soon.
during the development process of what's become the Rivian Amazon EDV, and now that they're on the roads nationwide, the automaker invited us to check in on its production electric delivery van. Here are some things we learned., the Rivian Amazon EDV is available in two configurations. The EDV700, pictured, is the bigger of the two.
Rivian says the EDV700 can travel 150 miles on a charge, and though almost all charging occurs overnight via Level 2 chargers, the van is capable of being DC fast charged at a 50-kW peak rate. The Zevo 600, as a point of comparison, has a larger 165-kWh battery pack rated for 250 miles, and can DC fast charge at rates up to 120 kW.
All Rivian vans ride on a"low feature content" version of the R1 platform, eschewing the electric pickup and SUV'sin favor of composite transverse leaf springs up front and steel springs in back. Though Rivian's consumer products offer loads of customizability, there's only one drive mode and one regenerative brake setting in the EDV, the latter analogous to the High regen setting of the R1T/R1S.
, the Rivian Amazon EDV's duty-cycle informed a lot of the design decisions around the van. With an expected 7-to-10-year and 300,000-mile lifespan, Rivian wanted to ensure the EDV presented itself as a friendly face in the neighborhood. The van's cartoonish looks serve a functional purpose, too.
seat is designed to be comfortable for a 12-hour shift, and is positioned at a height designed to make getting in and out easy on the body. The van offers up both dash-mounted cupholders and storage behind the driver's seat, and the infotainment system—a modified version of the R1S and R1T's software suite—allows the driver to listen to the radio or stream music.
