Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive has sought financial support from the federal government to resume construction of its $5 billion electric vehicle factory in Georgia. This comes after the company submitted a loan application to the operation department to facilitate the continuation of the project. Construction of the Georgia factory had previously been paused as Rivian shifted focus to accelerating production of its R2 midsize platform model and conserving financial resources. Despite the construction pause, the factory plans indicate that partial operation is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2027, with the goal of reaching full production capacity in 2028. The company announced earlier on Friday a downward revision of its annual production forecast. The company also reported that third-quarter deliveries fell short of targets. These setbacks were attributed to ongoing component shortages and an overall slowdown in electric vehicle demand.
