Rivian Automotive Inc. fell the most since mid-November after Amazon.com Inc., one of its biggest backers and customers, agreed to buy battery-electric delivery vans from rival automaker Stellantis NV.

The first vehicles under the new order are due next year, Stellantis said Wednesday. It didn’t disclose the size of the deal, but Chief Executive Officer Carlos Tavares said the order was a “significant number.”
