You’ve received somebody in your life who you’re keen on and recognize however you simply don’t know what to get them for Christmas? Maybe they’ve simply received every part they want, and even a bit extra. We’ve all been there. An concept hit me this week on account of just a few issues, and it’s a straightforward last-minute choice that doesn’t require going to the shop (or hoping a web based supply arrives on time).

At my youthful daughter’s faculty, I discovered that lecturers and trainer aides generally get lottery tickets as presents. Now, a one in a billion likelihood isn’t nice, however it received me pondering that it’s a totally different, fascinating concept for a gift. Higher than one other candle! And picture if the trainer did win….

Properly, as you understand should you comply with CleanTechnica carefully, we’ve partnered with ISEA for years supporting its EV raffles and its photo voltaic advocacy, training, and activism. This yr, it’s raffling off a Rivian. It’s nonetheless a lottery, however solely 2,500 tickets are being offered, and even should you don’t win, you’re supporting solar energy progress.

Rivian has additionally been on the thoughts lots this week. The corporate had a huge Autonomy & AI Day occasion. It’s coaching and hiring veterans in Georgia. It’s getting ready for manufacturing of the R2. And, as I wrote a few days in the past, Elon Musk’s political shenanigans and growing older product lineup mixed with legacy US automakers pulling again on their EV plans could possibly be leaving an enormous opening for Rivian to scale up, develop, and get worthwhile.

So, yeah, if you wish to assist somebody leap on the Rivian prepare within the least expensive approach doable (with some luck), go get them — or your self — a raffle ticket or 4. It’s $100 for one ticket or $300 for 4. (And, hey, CleanTechnica would take one as effectively!)
