Rivian has officially opened its online inventory shop where prospective customers can order a ready-made R1T and take delivery of it in as little as one week, the company said in an email sent to customers. “Now, there are two ways to get behind the wheel of the award-winning R1T. You can make a reservation and put together your own custom configuration. Or you can shop available R1T inventory that delivers in just 1–6 weeks,” said the California-based electric car manufacturer. The announcement comes after some customers received invitations to access the online inventory shop and place an order for…
Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News! I’ve spent more money on maintenance of my 2019 Tesla Model 3 SR+ (Standard Range Plus), so it’s time for another cost of ownership update. Also, before I get into the latest expense, I should note that I decided to pass on the Tesla extended warranty option. I wrote about it a couple of times and considered the extensive feedback from some readers, eventually deciding to take the risk and assume I’ll spend less in the next couple of years on extra maintenance/repairs than…

On October 1, 2023, Tesla surprisingly updated the Model Y in China, applying changes to the exterior, interior, and a few select specs. The move is surprising because we are not talking about a major refresh, like in the case of the Model 3 (code name Highland), but a relatively limited update. A much more significant update (previously associated with a code name Juniper) is expected at some point in 2024. Let’s start with the exterior. Tesla introduced a new, black 19-inch wheel design, which replaces the previous silver Gemini ones. We are not sure, but the new wheels potentially…
Less than three months after announcing entry into a new market of Israel, Chinese EV automaker ZEEKR is continuing its expansion in the Middle East (and around the globe for that matter) and doing so quickly. The young automaker has announced four new partnerships that will see EV deliveries coming quite quickly. Although ZEEKR remains a relatively new brand to the EV space, it garners consistent coverage on Electrek because, well… it is consistently growing its lineup of “futuristic” EVs and the territories in which they are sold. After producing over 100,000 electric vehicles in a mere 18 months of…

Road-trip EV charging often doesn’t always give traveling motorists the break they need. But it can and will get more convenient, and one such template, from startup Rove, was revealed this past week in Southern California. Rove broke ground and detailed plans for its inaugural charging center, in Santa Ana, California, which appears to check a lot of boxes that have been the subject of frustration for motorists. For the past decade or more, access to the fastest EV chargers has often meant leaving the car at the middle (or outer edge) of vast big-box retailer parking lots, then crossing…
