Speaking during the Climate Week in New York City, where some 600 climate-advocacy programs took place over the past week, Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe presented himself as part marketer, part businessman and part climate activist. He outlined the key challenges facing the electric vehicle industry during an interview with New York Times Climate Reporter David Gelles.
“You think about all the noise that happens and you maybe imagine that there's some tension that exists between these two companies. That's not the case. The teams work great.” Scaringe said.
