# Rivian bets on R2 sales surge to revive stock value

New SUV launch: Rivian began delivering its $58,000 R2 in June, targeting a wider market than its premium R1T and R1S models. Stock upside hopes: Meeting 2026 delivery goals could boost revenue 38% and potentially double Rivian's valuation if re-rated like higher-growth EV peers. Range vs. charging: MotorTrend tests show R2’s real-world range falls 20% short of EPA rating, but its fast-charging speeds rank among top compact EV SUVs.
