Rivian Revs Up for Electrifying 2024 with NACS Boost

2023 was a banner year for Rivian Automotive, and the electric truckmaker isn't pumping the brakes anytime soon. As dust settles on a year of record deliveries and production milestones, Rivian is already teasing an even more thrilling ride in 2024, with a generous nod to Tesla's ubiquitous Supercharger network thrown in for good measure.

Rivian's new year's gift for its passionate drivers is an early gift of compatibility with the North American Charging Standard (NACS), Tesla's proprietary rapid charging network. This 2023, all R1 owners will have access to a free adaptor to the NACS. And starting in 2025, every R1T pickup and R1S SUV will roll off the production line sporting a factory-built NACS port, making them fully compatible with Tesla's extensive network of Superchargers. 

Starting in 2024, all R1 owners will have access to a free adaptor for the North American Charging Standard plug. In 2025, we'll begin to include the NACS charge port standard on future vehicles. More charging options and more adventures. ⚡https://t.co/Z5SBOFytgy

Can anyone remember range anxiety? Good. We don't, either.

This wasn't the only holiday post that Rivian shared. A recent social media video not only celebrated past achievements but also offered an apparent glimpse of the highly anticipated R2 platform, rumored to be Rivian's next big project. The R2 platform is expected to be smaller than the flagship R1 platform, and it will also be more affordable. 

We're endlessly inspired by the passion of our growing Rivian community. To those who've been with us, thank you. To those we'll meet soon, can't wait. With all of you along for the ride, it's clear the best is yet to come. Let's go!⚡ pic.twitter.com/tirgur6K19

Rivian's 2023 wasn't just about future promises; it was about delivering on present ones. The company ramped up production of its R1T and R1S models, satisfying the cravings of eager customers who'd pre-ordered their electric adventure vehicles. The year also saw Rivian's Electric Delivery Vans (EDVs) gain traction, with major commercial partners like Amazon deploying the vehicles worldwide.
