Rivian pickups head to Australian auction
A batch of Rivian electric pickup trucks is being put up for auction in Australia. Potential buyers, however, may face serious obstacles if they hope to register these vehicles for use on public roads.
Key facts
- The vehicles are Rivian EV pickups offered to Australian buyers through an auction.
- These trucks were not originally brought into the country through a standard consumer sales channel.
- Regulatory and compliance hurdles make it uncertain whether successful bidders will be able to obtain road registration.
Registration issues
Australian road rules and vehicle standards may not yet fully accommodate this specific Rivian configuration. As a result, even legally purchased trucks could remain limited to private property or off‑road use only. For many bidders, the appeal of owning a Rivian may be undercut by the inability to drive it on public streets.
Practical implications for buyers
- Buyers risk ending up with an expensive EV pickup that functions more as a collectible or display vehicle than daily transport.
- Anyone considering a bid needs to investigate state and territory registration rules in detail beforehand.
- Without clear approval from local authorities, there is no guarantee these Rivians will ever receive plates or road‑legal status.
A fleet of Rivian EV pickups is heading to auction in Australia, though new owners might never get to drive them on public roads.
Author’s summary
Australian enthusiasts finally get a shot at Rivian pickups via auction, but unclear local compliance means many winning bidders may never legally drive their new EVs beyond private land.
