A branded Rivian commercial van operated by home electrification startup Jetson has been photographed on the road, adding another name to the slowly growing list of non-Amazon buyers for the fully electric delivery vehicle.
A Reddit user posted an image of the green Jetson-wrapped van to the r/RIVNstock forum. The number of vehicles acquired by Jetson remains unknown.
The van carried Jetson’s branding, a New York plate, and the tagline “Electrify Your Home in a Single Day” alongside the company’s website.
Neither Jetson nor Rivian has disclosed the size of the order or when the vans were purchased.
Who Built the Vans
Fleet upfitting firm Legend Fleet Solutions published a case study earlier this year, describing the Jetson build.
The interior pairs Legend’s StabiliGrip floor system with Bott USA shelving, a layout designed for daily HVAC installation work.
Bush Specialty Vehicles handled the upfitting, Legend said.
Legend lists Rivian among its OEM partners alongside Ford, Ram, Mercedes and GM, and offers flooring, interior liners and accessories for the platform.
What Jetson does
Vancouver-based Jetson was founded in 2024 and sells all-electric heat pump systems directly to homeowners, bypassing traditional HVAC contractors.
The company launched its flagship product, Jetson Air, in September 2025, combining heat pump technology with smart software for real-time energy monitoring and air quality sensing.
Jetson raised $50 million in Series A funding last January, led by Eclipse.
The round was joined by 8VC, Activate Capital and existing backers Garage Capital and Active Impact.
Co-founder and CEO Stephen Lake said in a LinkedIn post that Eclipse was selected in part because the firm had helped build Tesla and Rivian.
As of January, Jetson served homeowners in Colorado, Massachusetts, New York and Vancouver.
Last month, the company expanded into California, launching in Sacramento, Burbank, San Jose and the Inland Empire.
Jetson’s vertically integrated model handles everything from remote home assessments to equipment sourcing, system design and installation.
Jetson Air operates in cold climates down to –22°F and includes integrated sensors for real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics, according to the company, which has installed over 1,000 systems and earned a spot on Time’s 2025 Best Inventions list.
Rivian’s EDV Customer List
Rivian opened commercial van orders to outside fleets in early 2025, pricing the RCV 500 from $79,900 and the larger RCV 700 from $83,900.
Disclosed fleet customers remain small.
HelloFresh took delivery of 70 vans as Rivian’s first major fleet client outside Amazon. Pizza-delivery startup Slice signed on as well.
Vans carrying a Cintas logo have been spotted, and an Illinois service firm, Wm. Masters, bought at least one.
A Texas EV finance company, Xcelerate Auto, took delivery of a single RCV 500 in June, calling it the first non-Amazon example in Dallas.
DHL was seen piloting the vans in 2024 but has not confirmed a purchase.
Jetson appears to be the first home services company to deploy the vans, and the first buyer to wrap them with consumer-facing branding and convert the cargo area for trades work rather than last-mile delivery.
Van Sales Accelerating
Despite the unknown businesses, the Irvine-based EV maker sold 4,003 commercial vans in the second quarter, up 48% from a year earlier, according to Cox Automotive registration data.
The result marked the company’s strongest quarter for van sales since late 2024.
Amazon still dominates the order book.
Revenue reached $468 million in the first quarter, or 52% of Rivian‘s automotive revenue, up from about 11% a year earlier.
The retail giant passed 50,000 electric vans in its fleet in June, more than half from Rivian, and has taken delivery of more than 30,000 of the 100,000 ordered in 2019.
Rivian is co-developing new EDV variants with Amazon that add a larger battery for 30% more range and an all-wheel-drive option.
Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe has said the company sees opportunities beyond Amazon but that the near-term focus remains on the anchor customer.
To lead the next phase of commercial-van development, Rivian rehired Aaron Hensler as chief engineer for the platform after an eight-month stint at General Motors.
Use Cases for the EDV
Jetson’s deployment marks a different kind of buyer for the Rivian van.
Previous non-Amazon customers have used the vehicle for last-mile delivery — meal kits, pizza, uniforms.
Jetson uses them as mobile workshops for installing residential heat pumps, a use case that demands interior shelving, heavy tools and daily stop-and-start driving rather than high-volume parcel drops.
The use case is similar to how Rivian uses the van for its Mobile Service, which had been previously provided by modified R1T trucks.
Rivian has listed trades and service fleets among target segments for the van alongside delivery operations.
A software update this spring fixed a drive-unit fault and added Google Maps.
Rivian also issued an OTA update addressing seat-belt damage across nearly all delivery vans earlier this year.
