Rivian Sticks to Q4 Profit Goal Despite Production Setback
Rivian saw losses widen to more than $39,000 per vehicle delivered in the most recent period, compared with $32,705 in the second quarter.

To meet its fourth-quarter profit goal, Rivian is counting on a jump in revenue from regulatory credits sold to other automakers to boost its bottom line. The company saw just $8 million worth of those transactions in the most recent period, down from $17 million in the second quarter.

That's about typical of our government. National government insists on no new internal-combustion cars after 2030, then local government won't allow people to charge their electric cars at home.
Public chargers are about 75p/kWh: at 250WH/mile that works out at 19p/mile
Domestic electricity is 32p/kWh so 8p/mile and there are some cheap overnight rates as low as 12p.
My Jaguar XE does 60 miles on a gallon* of diesel, which costs £6.13, so that's 10p/mile.

*that's a 4.546 litre gallon.

I agree that if you can only charge an EV at a public charging station. than an EV does not make economic sense .
Where I live I live in Colorado USA, EV public charging is about U$0.18 / mile.
But off-peak charging in my house is only about U$0.05 /mile, which is near the gas cost for a high MPG hybrid such as a Toyota Prius.
