DATANot crash-tested
The Rivian EDV (Electric Delivery Van) is a purpose-built commercial electric vehicle produced for the 2022 model year, designed exclusively for last-mile delivery operations rather than consumer use. Developed in partnership with Amazon, this large cargo van targets fleet operators prioritizing zero-emission logistics. It occupies a unique niche as a purpose-built commercial EV, not a traditional passenger vehicle shoppers would find on a dealership lot.
The 2022 Rivian Edv has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 2 recalls and 7 owner complaints on file, giving it a light recall and complaint burden.

Reviewers generally approach the EDV less as a consumer product and more as a purpose-built fleet tool, noting its thoughtful interior layout designed around driver workflow and its smooth, quiet electric powertrain as genuine operational advantages. Most commentary focuses on its commercial utility and Rivian's ambitious manufacturing ramp rather than traditional driving refinement or interior materials.
