Upstart EV automaker Rivian, which assembles its vehicles on the site of a former Mitsubish Motors factory in Normal, Illinois, just announced another round of investments into the area. The factory that produces the R1S three-row SUV and the R1T pickup truck will soon neighbor a nearly $120 million supplier park, which should reduce construction costs and ease logistics for both Rivian and its partners. Better still, construction on the facility is already underway, and it should open sometime in 2026.
