We have several hundred sites in the pipeline that are like in various stages of permitting. And then charge the big built and then the charger gets sent up really quickly. So you've got R1T is out. Then you get to R1S for customers. There is also, and I don't know if you even know this, like a quarter mile down the road around the corner, there's an Amazon facility. Okay. Have a surprise you at all how much investment is required to also build out the charging network aside from the vehicles? No, we sort of went into it knowing it's going to be expensive. Yeah.
This week we have an interview with RJ Scaringe, the CEO of Rivian! He stopped by the Studio to chat with Marques about the new R1S and the future of the company as a whole. They go over the adventure network, the quirky features of the R1S, and the upcoming R2 platform as well. As a bonus, this entire episode was recorded inside of an Rivian R1S. We hope you enjoy!
