EV: Ford accelerates its EV push with half-billion-dollar investment in Rivian -- WSJ.  Rivian:
  • a start-up
  • 10 years old
  • when is a start-up old enough to be a teenage and no long a start-up?
  • Plymouth, MI
  • wants to introduce a line of electric pickups and SUVs; describes them as "adventure vehicles"
  • will be able to travel 400 miles on a full charge
  • "skateboard" design: large battery under the floor; each wheel with electric power
  • no cost given for the large battery, but my hunch, runs about $45,000/battery based on data coming from other sources
