What it concludes

• The Rivian EDV is custom-built exclusively for Amazon and features purpose-built design elements like specialized door configurations, interior lighting, cargo space, and safety tech.
• The EDV features only two seats, a single driver seat and an optional jump seat, optimized for delivery operations.
• The driver seating position is mounted high for easy entry and exit, and the windshield offers an expansive forward field of view without guesswork.
• The interior removes AM/FM radio because Rivian's testing showed delivery drivers only played Bluetooth music from their devices.
• The EDV cargo area includes specially sized shelving units matching Amazon delivery totes and a roll-up garage door that can open within the van footprint.
• The EDV 700 features four side panels, while the smaller EDV 500 features three panels for tighter urban environments.
