RJ Scaringe is the founder and CEO of Rivian Automotive. Rivian is defined as a company focused on developing an integrated portfolio of products and services to advance the shift to sustainable mobility. Scaringe has his Master of Science and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. In 2009, Scaringe started this company Rivian. In 2020, the production of there two electric vehicles will begin. The two vehicles have potential to disrupt the automobile industry.
The vehicles are an SUV and a truck. The vehicles will be available in many battery sizes that will dictate the specs of that vehicle. For example, the R1T (truck) will have 402 horsepower, 240 mile range, and go 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds with the 105 kWh battery; while the 180 kWh battery will be 700 horsepower, 400 mile range, and go 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds. I personally love the truck. It looks very modern and has a very beautiful interior. The truck boasts many places for storage that will benefit the driver greatly. I feel this vehicles will disrupt the industry when they are released. The vehicles are built on a “skateboard” chassis. This chassis is something I have never seen before and it is truly beautiful. I feel that this company will be very successful behind RJ Scaringe’s entrepreneurial thinking.
