The EV Race
This week, Lucid and Rivian’s reliability concerns take center stage. The Rivian R2 is expected to peak around 250 kW charging capacity, which is competitive but not leading-edge. In contrast, the Lucid Gravity supports 400 kW charging under… Meanwhile, a new CATL battery for delivery vans has been announced that can recharge in 7 minutes.
What follows is purely a thought experiment.
Imagine a world 7-9 years from now where Rivian’s R2 electric delivery vans, powered by CATL’s rapid recharge batteries, have become the de facto standard for last-mile logistics. As this new infrastructure spreads, it’s not uncommon to see these vans adapted and repurposed as autonomous “robotic couriers” within cities, leveraging their already impressive range and quick charging capabilities. Meanwhile, Tesla’s reliance on its own battery tech has led to a significant drop in compatibility with non-Tesla EVs at public charging stations, sparking an unexpected backlash: the rise of Lucid Motors’ open-standards-based charging architecture as the go-to solution for companies seeking to future-proof their fleets.
