Volkswagen to Invest Up to $5 Billion in Rivian

June 25, 2024 | Updated 5:56 PM

German automaker Volkswagen Group will invest up to $5 billion in US electric-vehicle maker Rivian as part of a new partnership.

Volkswagen plans to take an initial $1 billion equity stake in Rivian through an unsecured convertible note that will exchange into Rivian shares. The first $1 billion from Volkswagen comes in the form of a convertible note which converts into Rivian stock in December 2024.

Rivian will get a much-needed cash infusion through the new partnership with Volkswagen AG as automakers large and small rethink their strategies in the face of rising electric vehicle demand.
