On Wednesday, another electric vehicle recall was issued by startup company Lucid (LCID) for 571 of its luxury EVs. The announcement comes on the heels of a recall from fellow EV startup Rivian (RIVN) earlier in the week for over 12,000 of its electric trucks. The number of recalls has called into question the reliability of these early-stage EV makers. On a positive note, both Lucid and Rivian have reaffirmed their production targets for 2022, which led to both stocks closing higher during Wednesday’s session.
Rivian remains a rival to Mullen in the electric delivery truck market. A new report from The Verge suggests that Rivian is set to produce the electric delivery truck fleet for Amazon (AMZN) in Europe as well. Amazon is one of the biggest investors in Rivian, and the two already have a deal for 100,000 electric delivery trucks in the United States. Rivian also recently partnered with Mercedes Benz to produce electric delivery vans in Europe.
