Backed by $827 million in state incentives, Rivian plans to expand its Normal auto plant and create more than 550 assembly jobs over five years.
Freshly built R1T trucks move toward the end of the assembly line on April 11, 2022 at the Rivian electric vehicle plant in Normal. Rivian’s decision to launch production of its second-generation electric vehicles in Normal, rather than Georgia, will bring $1.5 billion in capital investment and hundreds of jobs to its central Illinois factory, the automaker and Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Thursday.
“They’re growing now and they had the opportunity to grow in Georgia or in Illinois,” Pritzker said during a news conference at the Rivian plant. “We wanted them to stay right here and create jobs here. That was why we put an incentive package together and made that offer to Rivian.”and the smaller and sportier R3 crossover, springing the news that the R2, at least initially, will be made in Illinois, putting plans to build a $5 billion Georgia plant on hold.
“The support from the state will allow us to quickly bring our midsize SUV, R2, to market and provide even greater consumer choice for EVs,” Rivian CEO and founder R.J. Scaringe said in a news release. Scaringe purchased the shuttered factory for $16 million from a liquidation firm in January 2017. Boosted by more than $1 billion in investment and expansion, the plant has built more than 100,000 EVs since starting production in 2021.
