Access Rivian commercial fleet vehicle data (GPS, odometer, state of charge) through an official OEM-authorized fleet telematics partner, since Rivian has no public developer API

Steps

  1. Confirm there is no general-purpose public Rivian developer API before scoping the integration — Rivian's third-party data access runs through specific commercial partnerships instead.
  2. For fleet use cases, connect through one of Rivian's announced telematics partners — Samsara (via its vehicle gateway integration) or Geotab (via its embedded telematics partnership) — rather than attempting direct OEM access.
  3. Set up the Rivian vehicles under a Samsara or Geotab fleet account so the partner platform receives Rivian-reported data directly rather than through an aftermarket OBD dongle.
  4. Use that platform's own API (e.g., Samsara's /fleet/vehicles/stats endpoints) to pull the resulting GPS, odometer, and state-of-charge data into your system, treating Rivian as just another vehicle make in that platform's fleet.
  5. For a single consumer vehicle rather than a commercial fleet, evaluate Smartcar's Rivian support as a lighter-weight alternative to standing up a full fleet-telematics platform relationship.
