Rivian R1T electric ute to be sold in Australia – but not to the public

AutoExec Summary
The Rivian R1T electric pick-up is set to be sold in Australia through a partnership with MEVCO, an Australian-based company specializing in electric vehicle conversions for mining fleets. The vehicles will be customized to mining specifications and will not be available for sale to the general public for road use due to being left-hand drive only. However, there is interest from Rivian’s head office in the US to potentially launch in Australia for public sale in the future. Electric vehicles like the Rivian R1T are ideal for underground mining operations due to their zero emissions. MEVCO is preparing to support the rollout of Rivian vehicles with charging infrastructure and maintenance services.
