AutoExec Summary
The Rivian R1T, the first electric pickup to go into production globally, is coming to Australia for use in local mines. Australian company MEVCO will modify the R1T for mining use and provide charging infrastructure. The R1T’s safety rating is not an issue, as it has earned a Top Safety Pick+ award in the US. EVs like the R1T are seen as important for reducing emissions in the mining sector. MEVCO also plans to convert 8500 Toyota HiLux utes and LandCruisers to battery power.
