Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN), the high-profile electric vehicle startup, has been a company I’ve watched with great interest since its blockbuster IPO in 2021.

What’s more, this dynamic might not change anytime soon. Scientifically, oil features high energy density. Basically, a gallon of gasoline can power a car for 30 miles or more.
