Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ: RIVN) jumped 7.34% after a new plan was revealed that EV drivers throughout North America will soon have greater access to charging stations after an announcement by General Motors and six auto industry partners: BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis.
The initiative aims to install at least 30,000 charging points in urban areas and along highways, initially, to help ensure EV drivers are able to power their batteries when they're on the road. Planning on making charging points available to U.S. drivers starting in summer 2024, the joint venture expects to install charging locations in Canada soon thereafter.
Providing access to a variety of EVs, the charging points will accommodate both Combined Charging System (CCS) and North American Charging Standard (NACS) connectors.
The joint venture will rely on both private and public funds for the development of the charging infrastructure.
Like many EV makers in 2023, Rivian announced last month that it plans on adopting the NACS standard.

About Rivian Automotive.....
Rivian Automotive, Inc. is an OEM EV manufacturer focused on pickup trucks and SUVs. The company was founded in 2009 and is based in San Jose, California. Rivian is among the greenest of the EV makers choosing to achieve carbon neutrality well ahead of the Paris Climate Accord timeline. Rivian Automotive went public in 2021.
The company designs, develops, manufactures, and sells electric adventure vehicles and accessories through direct sales to consumers and commercial markets. The company vehicles are designed for sustainability and long lifespans across all components with repairability and reusability key to the end result. That includes engineering specifications such as easily removable batteries and batteries that can be easily recycled or repurposed into stationary power packs when their EV lifespan is spent.
The company offers five-passenger pickup trucks and sports utility vehicles under the R1T and R1S labels. The R1T is a highly configurable pickup while the R1S is an off-road capable SUV. The R1T is hailed as the world’s first EV adventure vehicle, it began production in early 2021 and the first deliveries were made later that same year. By mid-2022 the company had delivered more than 8,000 vehicles with production ramping quickly.
The R1T comes with 8 different drive modes geared for offroading, city adventures, and everything in between. Among the choices is the “Drift” mode which proactively distributes power to offset traction control and increase the “fun” factor. The vehicle comes with a 240 to 400-mile range depending on the battery and motor combination and individual driving styles. In regard to its capabilities, the truck can go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds, tow up to 11,000 pounds, and wade through 3 feet of water with no problems.
Further Catalysts for the RIVN Weekly Options Trade…..
The rising short interest also plays an essential role in RIVN’s ability to trade higher. As of June 30, the short percentage of the float was 13.48%, up from 13.14% as of June 15. Based on that figure, 87.9 million shares of RIVN are sold short, equalling $1.46 billion in dollar volume. As the short interest continues to increase steadily, short sellers might begin to doubt their positions and start to cover.
The consolidation over the past several weeks has created new critical levels of support and resistance that could dictate the trend and momentum of the stock once one of the levels is broken. For example, $24 has emerged as a critical level of support in the short term.
If RIVN breaks below and holds below $24, it might signal a shift in momentum, and further downside could be on the cards as investors look to take profits and short sellers gain confidence. On the flip side, if the stock can break above and hold above $27, short sellers might begin to cover, and momentum traders might go long the stock for another leg higher, resulting in a significant buy imbalance for the stock.
