With a reported Tesla NACS port from the factory, an affordable price tag and promising specs, the Rivian R2 is key to the EV brand's future.

When you see photos of Rivian's electric SUVs in the media, they're often crossing rivers, scaling mountains and braving some trek across a barren terrain. But Rivian's biggest test yet won't be some off-roading adventure: it will be crossing the Valley of Death. That, as climate news publication Heatmap and other outlets have put it, is the gap between scaling up operations and getting a high-volume product on the road that can actually pay for those enormous capital costs.

A leak of alleged data from Rivian's website yesterday indicated the SUV will start at $47,500, offer a range of up to 330 miles and pack a Tesla-style North American Charging Standard plug. If true, that last detail alone is groundbreaking; it will be the first non-Tesla EV to be compatible with Tesla's vast Supercharger network from the factory, without needing to use an adapter.
