Rivian Automotive Inc. has projected a decline of up to 16% in its vehicle sales for 2025 compared to last year, signaling the company's first-ever annual drop in electric vehicle (EV) deliveries. The automaker expects to sell between 46,000 and 51,000 plug-in SUVs, vans, and pickups in 2025, down from 51,579 vehicles delivered in 2024[2][4].

This forecast falls short of analyst expectations, who had anticipated around 54,800 deliveries for 2025. The company's outlook reflects challenges from potential changes to tariffs, EV tax credits, and regulatory policies under the current U.S. administration, which may increase costs and impact consumer demand. Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe highlighted concerns about rising tariffs on the supply chain that could lead to higher prices and affect sales volumes[2][4].

Despite the projected sales decline, Rivian recently reported its first-ever gross profit of $170 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, surpassing expectations. However, the company also widened its 2025 loss forecast, expecting an adjusted EBITDA loss between $2.0 billion and $2.25 billion, up from prior estimates. This is largely due to ongoing macroeconomic pressures, including 25% tariffs on EVs and parts and the planned expiration of the U.S. federal EV tax credit at the end of September 2025[3].

In addition to volume challenges, Rivian continues to expand its infrastructure, operating about 400 Rivian Adventure Network charging stalls by March 2025 to enhance accessibility for its customers. The company also maintains a workforce of approximately 16,500 employees and is progressing on strategic initiatives including a $5.8 billion joint venture with Volkswagen and developments in autonomy and software technologies[1][3].
