Rivian 电动配送货车获 EPA 认证：新增四驱版，可用电池扩至 129 kWh
Rivian’s electric delivery vans get EPA approval with AWD and larger battery
据 Drive Tesla 报道，Rivian 的电动配送货车新版本已获美国环保署（EPA）认证，认证于 9 月 17 日发出，覆盖 2027 款 EDV 700 Large 的前驱与四驱两种配置，是该平台自 2021 年投产以来的首次重大硬件升级。新版本可用电池由现款的 90 kWh 扩大至 129 kWh，电芯均为磷酸铁锂；按 EPA 认证文件中的未调整实验室测试值，前驱版续航由 261.7 英里升至 355.5 英里，四驱版为 322.25 英里——需注意这是实验室测试值，并非现款对外宣传的约 160 英里口径。大电池仅用于 EDV 700，较小的 EDV 500 维持原配置。新版本除供亚马逊车队外，也将通过 Rivian 商用货车渠道面向其他车队客户。
Rivian has received EPA certification for new versions of its electric delivery vans, bringing all-wheel drive (AWD) and a larger battery pack to the commercial vehicles used by Amazon and other fleet operators.
The approval, issued September 17, covers the 2027 model year EDV 700 Large in both front-wheel drive (FWD) and AWD configurations, the first major hardware upgrade to Rivian’s delivery van platform since production began in 2021.
The biggest upgrade is to the battery – 129 kWh usable, versus 90 kWh in current vans. Both packs rely on LFP cells.
According to EPA certification documents, the larger battery increases the EDV 700’s unadjusted laboratory test range by nearly 36%, from 261.7 miles (421 km) to 355.5 miles (572 km) in the front-wheel-drive configuration.
The new dual-motor AWD version achieves 322.25 miles (519 km), an improvement of approximately 23% over the standard van. Rivian currently advertises approximately 160 miles (257 km) of range for its existing delivery vans.
The larger battery will be exclusive to the EDV 700, while the smaller EDV 500 retains its existing battery and drivetrain configuration.
NEW: Rivian can now deliver its AWD and long-range vans to Amazon EPA certified the new MY27 variants on Sept 17, seven months after Rivian announced they were in development. Amazon has told drivers to expect them later this year Both get a 129 kWh pack, up from 90 kWh. On EPA test cycles, range is up 36-39% with front-wheel drive and 23-26% with AWD $RIVN $AMZN

According to RivianTrackr, AWD could prove particularly useful for Amazon deliveries in areas where snow, ice, and muddy roads can make operating front-wheel-drive delivery vehicles more challenging.
The additional range could allow Amazon to expand electric deliveries into rural areas where longer routes have limited adoption.
Amazon’s Rivian fleet surpassed 40,000 vehicles across North America earlier this year. The new configurations will also be available through Rivian’s Commercial Van lineup for other fleet customers.
