They are replacing all of their gas trucks with Rivian custom-designed electric vehicles next year.

Which makes me happy because I want a Rivian SO GODDAMN BAD.

And Amazon has a LOT of ICE-powered vehicles I'd like to see off the road.

And it will create the demand for electrical infrastructure that will drive our infrastructure forward into the 20th century.

And Amazon can spend a billion dollars on something and not even blink.

There is value to a colossal megalith of a company going all-in on something to drive markets to supporting this sea change.
