Rivian sues U.S. government to recover Trump-era tariffs on its R2 vehicle

Rivian has filed a lawsuit against the United States government. The electric‑vehicle maker seeks a full refund of tariffs imposed under the Trump administration. The tariffs are tied to the pricing of Rivian’s upcoming R2 model. Rivian argues the duties were applied unfairly to its products. The company contends the charges increase costs for consumers. The case will be heard in federal court. Industry observers note the suit could set precedent for other EV manufacturers. The outcome may influence future tariff policy and vehicle pricing.
