Every time you drive and charge your Rivian, you help power our investments in clean energy projects. We’re committed to supporting 2 GW of clean power to enable 7 billion miles of renewable driving by 2030. 7 billion miles. That’s a lot of adventures. What’s a renewable mile? A “renewable mile” means for every kWh you charge (or mile you drive), we invest in an equivalent amount of high-impact renewable energy for the national grid.* We’ve invested in projects that maximize “3C” benefits for community, climate and conservation across the country, partnering with innovative companies like Pivot Energy, Emrgy Inc. and ARC Alternatives to accelerate the transition to a zero-emission electric grid. Here are a few highlights – Bringing affordable solar to families across rural Illinois, powering 164 million renewable R1 miles each year. Embracing low-impact hydropower for farming communities in the West, powering 550,000 renewable R1 miles each year. Reducing costs for SoCal public schools through rooftop solar, powering 65 million renewable R1 miles each year. Curious about our approach?

Meet MJ Jones, the kindest of kind, Rivian Sr. Field Delivery Guide based out of our Richmond, VA service center, who we had the pleasure to meet up with to talk all things vehicle delivery and to hear their experience being a non-binary individual at Rivian.     A self-described high energy person who always brings the party, MJ says, “I feed off the energy that comes with meeting people and introducing them to their Rivian. I love delivery because, in my opinion, it’s the customer’s happiest day. It’s almost like Christmas morning and I’m bringing people their presents. It keeps it exciting and fun for me!”    From the start, MJ’s gender expression at Rivian has been a point of relief and affirmation – it’s been nothing but positive. "When I applied, I used my legal name, but when the recruiter called, I answered as MJ," they explain. "Because my legal name differs, my recruiter asked if I wanted to change it in the system. This simple gesture meant a lot! Literally, from the first moment, I was given the chance to be myself at work." From that point on, subsequent interviewers and MJ's entire team used their preferred name and pronouns (they/them) correctly, including both close colleagues and daily acquaintances on the service center team.    A year in and their preference of pronouns has been welcomed with open arms. Nevertheless, there’s always room for education, “but that's just super easy to explain and just be like, ‘Hey, we're friends. Just do me this favor.’ It doesn't have to be some scary thing that you think it would be. I've had nothing but a good experience being nonbinary in this company and presenting that way.”    MJ recalls a time where they approached a coworker who had misgendered them: “I’d been letting it slide just because we are closer. I told him, ‘I just wanna let you know that I do identify as non-binary, and I would love if you could try using they/them pronouns with me.’ and he goes, ‘That is no problem at all. I'm so glad you told me and I will absolutely work on that. Please call it out if I ever say it incorrectly.’ It's just such a relief to have a conversation with somebody and it’s affirming when they continue to use the correct pronouns.”    Advice? MJ says, “I would say, be yourself. Come as you are. You're going to be accepted. People here will have your back no matter how you identify. And to any non-binary or queer folks looking into Rivian, we want you here! This is a company that truly cares about representation and backs it up with supporting its community members.”    Join us at rivn.co/RivianCareers.    #rivian | #adventurousforever | #foreverisforeveryone

This week, we were delighted to host the first-ever Adventure with Pride event at the Rivian South Coast Theater in Laguna Beach, organized by our Rainbow Rivianites Belonging Resource Group! This special evening brought together Rivian employees, members of the Southern CA LGBTQIA2S+ communities and allies for a night of celebration, #culture, and uplifting voices.     The event featured a series of thought-provoking short films followed by a powerful panel discussion with inspiring members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, including award-winning production designer Nelson Coates, professional surfer Kassia Meador, actor, influencer and advocate, Brandon Kyle Goodman and Sr. Director, Workplace Equality Program at Human Rights Campaign RaShawn Hawkins.  We were also honored to hear from special guests from The Outwords Archive (OUTWORDS) and AIDS/LifeCycle.    “The community really needed an event like this,” said Nathan, local Laguna Beach resident in attendance. “Rivian did such a great job with the rehabilitation of the theater and seeing them hold an event that represents ‘my’ community shows that they really do care about us.”     We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us. Your participation made it a truly special event filled with connection, understanding, and celebration.    Rivian is committed to creating a welcoming space for everyone.

What a thrilling day at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb!

International Women in Engineering Day is a time to celebrate inspiring women like Mojan S. Sohi. A seasoned engineer turned Senior Manager of Design for Reliability at Rivian, Mojan leads a team of multidisciplinary engineers responsible for ensuring the longevity of Rivian's mechanical systems, including chassis, body structures, closures and interiors. We recently sat down with her to discuss her career journey and what keeps her passionate about engineering at Rivian.    “It took me years to pin down what I was really interested in within engineering, but I think I’ve finally found it in Design for Reliability,” notes Mojan. “I think what I enjoy most is the problem-solving aspect. As an engineer, you have a toolbox filled with knowledge – physics, data analytics, chemistry, material science… the list goes on. You get to apply these skills to real-world challenges.    At the end of the day, the tangibility of it all is incredibly rewarding. You can touch the product you helped create, something people will buy, use and get excited about. That connection to the final product is what I find most fulfilling. You can really see your impact at Rivian – you apply your tools, and there it is, right there in the vehicle itself.    Loving the product you work on is essential – it keeps the daily grind exciting. And let's be honest, Rivian's products are fantastic. But what truly sets Rivian apart is the people. The team I work with is incredible! We enjoy the work and there's a great sense of camaraderie. Every week, I look forward to collaborating with them.     There's a genuine level of trust between teams, something I haven't always experienced. Having worked in both #tech and #automotive, I've seen the extremes of work pace and workplace culture. Rivian strikes a perfect balance. We move fast and have ambitious goals, but there's a strong sense of shared purpose. We might disagree during meetings, but it's always in pursuit of the same objective: creating an exceptional product and delivering an unforgettable owner experience. This shared obsession, in my opinion, is the biggest factor behind Rivian's success.”    Inspired by Mojan's experience and want to make a real impact on our engineering teams?
