When Rivian and the Volkswagen Group announced a that they were teaming up to work on EV hardware and software, it wasn’t totally clear how the partnership would work.
A year later, we know a whole lot more about what Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies is working on, and how things are going. I spent the morning with the co-CEOs of the joint venture this week, checked out some engineering prototypes and learned all about where things stand.
Guest host Mack Hogan and I break it all down on this week’s Plugged-In Podcast. We discuss the risks of the deal, why it’s a smart move for Rivian and whether RV Tech really can provide the “operating system” for the entire auto industry.
Plus, we recap a stunning new report about oversupply of EV batteries, talk about executive turnover at Tesla and debate Elon Musk’s $1 trillion pay package.
Check out the show wherever you listen to podcasts. We’re on YouTube, Spotify, Apple and other platforms.
