SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Rivian said
on Monday it has received conditional approval for a loan of up
to $6.6 billion from the U.S. Department of Energy to build the
electric vehicle maker's production facility in Georgia.
Operation of the Georgia plant, where Rivian plans to build
future vehicles such as its smaller, less expensive R2 SUVs and
R3 crossovers, will begin in 2028, the California-based startup
said in a statement.
