"The EDV was first unveiled back in September 2019, when Amazon announced a massive investment in Rivian and placed an order for 100,000 electric vans, aiming to deploy them by 2030 as part of the company's sustainability goals. Production started in 2021 in Normal, Illinois, and entered Amazon's fleet of active delivery vehicles over the Summer of 2022. Amazon kept the initial vehicles in major metropolitan areas and eventually started rolling them out to more delivery hubs across the United States."
"Amazon's fleet of EDVs continues to grow rapidly and has expanded to over 100 cities in the United States. However, it has just reached a new milestone, and it has nothing to do with the size of its fleet. The companies announced today that they had officially launched the EDV in Canada for Amazon, as the first 50 units are out and about in Vancouver, and the company said it was "marking an exciting milestone in our five-year history of operations in Canada.""
The EDV program began with a 2019 unveiling when Amazon invested in Rivian and ordered 100,000 electric vans to deploy by 2030 for sustainability goals. Production began in 2021 in Normal, Illinois, and EDVs entered Amazon's fleet in summer 2022. Initial vehicles served major metropolitan areas before expansion to additional delivery hubs nationwide. By December 2024, 20,000 EDVs had been deployed in the U.S.; 10,000 more arrived in early 2025, bringing the fleet to 30,000 by mid-2025 and serving over 100 U.S. cities. The first 50 EDVs have now launched in Vancouver, Canada.
