Initially named Mainstream Motors, then Avera Automotive, the company adopted the name Rivian in 2011, inspired by the Indian River in Florida, where Scaringe grew up. In 2017, Rivian acquired a former Mitsubishi plant in Normal, Illinois, to establish its production facility.

In 2021, Rivian went public, raising over $13.5 billion in its initial public offering. In 2025, Rivian announced the R2 model, a more affordable electric SUV, aiming to expand its lineup and make electric vehicles more accessible. (en.wikipedia.org)
