Rivian has reportedly started installing the redesigned power tonneau cover for the R1T all-electric pickup, according to a Rivian Forums user who had the new cover fitted to his truck last week.

Porsche reveals a new generation of 800-volt EV tech in the Macan SUV. Biden’s national EV charging network is up and running in Ohio. And if you don’t need a lot of range, Hyundai’s repositioning of the Kona Electric might make a lot of sense. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.
