Why It Matters: Around 80% of Rivian's customers have never owned an EV before, Scaringe told CNBC's "Squawk Box."
爲什麼重要：斯卡林格告訴CNBC的 “Squawk Box”，大約80％的Rivian客戶以前從未擁有過電動汽車。
The company is acting as the gateway to electrification for a lot of consumers, he said.
他說，該公司是許多消費者通往電氣化的門戶。
"Ultimately, it's the... manifestation of the product features, the product design coupled with the positioning, the branding that we've built around the business, around the products that's really connected with customers and is resonating extremely well," Scaringe added.
斯卡林格補充說：“歸根結底，這是... 產品功能、產品設計與定位、我們圍繞業務建立的品牌的體現，圍繞真正與客戶建立聯繫並引起極好共鳴的產品。”
The Rivian CEO didn't seem concerned about competition in the electric truck space, citing how the industry needs choice in order to make a complete transition to electric.
Rivian 首席執行官似乎並不擔心電動卡車領域的競爭，理由是該行業需要選擇才能完全過渡到電動卡車。
"So we think it's very healthy and very important that manufacturers outside of ourselves create products that are compelling," he said.
他說：“因此，我們認爲，我們以外的製造商創造出引人注目的產品非常健康，也非常重要。”
Eventually, 100% of all truck sales will be electric, Scaringe predicts. However, you still have to be able to connect with consumers in order to generate sales and that's what Rivian is focused on doing well, he said.
斯卡林格預測，最終，所有卡車銷量的100％將是電動的。但是，他說，你仍然必須能夠與消費者建立聯繫才能產生銷售額，而這正是Rivian重點做好的事情。
"The product attributes, the features, the branding and sort of positioning of the product all really matter," Scaringe said.
斯卡林格說：“產品的屬性、功能、品牌和定位都非常重要。”
