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.
I remember when I could buy a nice new car for $39,000, retail.https://www.ttnews.com/articles/rivian-earnings-q3-2024

With all of the conversions, gasoline to electric to being stored in the battery and finally sent to the wheels, I wonder what the final fuel economy is?

After six months of wrangling, the retired mechanic said he had sold his vehicle because the "cost and worry" of using public charging points - where he said he did not feel safe - had caused him so much stress that he felt ill.
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.
I agree that if you can only charge an EV at a public charging station. than an EV does not make economic sense .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.
