Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) first captured investors' attention back in 2019 when it struck a blockbuster deal with Amazon. Rivian agreed to supply the e-commerce titan with a whopping 100,000 electric delivery vans. It was the largest-ever order of battery-powered delivery vehicles at the time.

Amazon also made a large investment in Rivian. The online retail giant owns roughly 17% of the EV upstart's stock, a stake that's currently worth more than $3.8 billion.
