In this episode of the Rivian Clubs of America Podcast, we’re joined by Matt Cahir, CEO of MEVCO, to explore how they’re using Rivian R1T trucks in mining operations and what it means for the future of EV fleets in high-demand industries.

We talk about:

– The origins of MEVCO and their mission to electrify mining fleets
– Why the Rivian R1T is such a good fit for these rugged environments
– How MEVCO is adapting Rivian’s platform for real-world mining use
– The impact of electrification on safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency
– What the future holds for EV fleets in heavy-duty work settings
