The US Department of Energy will loan Rivian $6.6 billion to build an electric vehicle factory in Georgia, as Democrats scramble to finalize their climate agenda before Donald Trump takes office. Rivian said it received “conditional commitment” for its application to the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program,

The Energy Department said the loan would substantially boost electric vehicles made in the United States and support Biden’s goal of having zero-emission vehicles make up half of all new US sales by 2030.

Rivian paused work on the plant earlier this year amid financial difficulties. The factory is supposed to produce midsize and crossover SUVs.
