US automaker Rivian could eventually outperform Tesla as a manufacturer of electric vehicles after Amazon placed an order for 100,000 electric vans to deliver goods to consumers.

The chief executive of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, invested in the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, in February 2019, when Rivian received $700m in a Bezos-led funding round.
