American e-commerce giant Amazon has significantly increased the number of Rivian-made electric delivery vans in its fleet. The online marketplace now has over 30,000 custom-built Rivian Electric Delivery Vans (EDV) transporting parcels across the United States and in some parts of Europe, according to the EV startup’s fourth-quarter shareholder letter.

That’s a 50% boost from the end of 2024, when Amazon had over 20,000 Rivian EDVs in its fleet, signaling that the California EV maker is on the right track to deliver on its promises. As a reminder, Amazon and Rivian signed an exclusivity agreement in 2019 for 100,000 electric delivery vans by 2030.

The exclusivity agreement ended in 2023, but the deal between the two companies is still standing, so expect to see a lot more Amazon-blue Rivian vans everywhere in the U.S. by the end of the decade, with 70,000 more still waiting to be manufactured and delivered. To keep up with the demand, Rivian will have to increase its output to roughly 17,500 EDVs per year to meet its target, which is more than what it was able to achieve until now.

Production of the Amazon-spec EDV began in 2022, which means the company needed three and a half years to ship 30,000 units to the e-commerce company. That’s less than 10,000 per year, but as these latest figures suggest, the California startup has ramped up production in the previous year. In a previous statement sent to InsideEVs, a Rivian representative said the company was on track to deliver on its EDV commitments.

Amazon’s Rivian electric vans are delivering packages across thousands of cities in the U.S. The vast majority of EDVs have been shipped stateside, but a couple of hundred have also been sent to Germany, where the California startup has recently ramped up its hiring efforts for mobile engineers and mechanics.

Meanwhile, in America, Amazon has installed over 17,000 EV chargers at its delivery centers to keep its Rivian fleet up and running around the clock, making it the largest private charging operator in the world.

Rivian’s electric van was designed specifically for Amazon, but it was ultimately transformed into a regular commercial vehicle that any business could buy. After the exclusivity agreement between the two parties was shuttered, Rivian announced that anyone could buy the now-renamed Commercial Van or RCV.
