Podcast: Rivian earnings, Waymo partners with Toyota, Ford bets on V2H for Fathom, and more

• Rivian reported Q3 2026 earnings with revenue up 38%, and its electric van now has a 30% increase in range and AWD. The company also noted the electric van was spotted in Walmart+ livery, suggesting a potential fleet deal.
• Waymo partners with Toyota to develop a robotaxi called the bZ4X, which will start in Japan in 2027, and Musk claims Tesla’s robotaxi outperformed Waymo, though Waymo still drives 7x more. Ford is betting on V2H (vehicle-to-home) technology for its Fathom electric pickup truck, aiming to make it more energy-efficient.
• The podcast discusses these developments, with a live stream available on YouTube and an accompanying post on the site. The show is hosted by Fred Lambert, the Editor in Chief at Electrek.
