Rivian R2 Could Be the EV That Changes the Game
The excitement around Rivian’s upcoming R2 is real, and honestly, it feels deserved. This isn’t just another EV, it’s Rivian finally stepping into the mainstream. The R1T and R1S are amazing trucks, but with starting prices well north of $80K, they’ve always been a little out of reach for a lot of people. The R2 changes that. We’re talking about a mid-size SUV starting around $45,000 (hopefully). That’s a massive shift. Suddenly, Rivian isn’t just the cool, outdoorsy brand for…
Rivian Owners Report Highway Assist Issues After 2025.26, Rivian Promises Improvements
Rivian’s 2025.26 update has brought one of the biggest shifts yet in driver assistance tech.

IRS Gives Flexibility on $7,500 EV Tax Credit Ahead of Sept. 30 Deadline
The $7,500 federal EV tax credit is officially on its way out. Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the credit will expire on September 30. For buyers hoping to take advantage of it one last time, the deadline has felt like a race against the clock. But this week the IRS added some much-needed clarity. Shoppers don’t necessarily need to have their new EV in the driveway by the end of September. Instead, the agency confirmed that entering…
