Does this mean that Rivian doesn’t have to build out their own network?
They never "had" to, since they were already using the open standard of the time. Electrify America, for example, is CCS by default. I figure they'll continue expanding their own network either way.
Tesla stands to earn billions of dollars a year by opening U.S. charging stations to drivers of Ford and other EVs.

I guess this means Elon Musk is going to own most of the new style gas stations across the United States and maybe the world. This will give him unprecedented power, he will be able to turn off all the “gas stations” if he felt like it.
I’m pretty sure he built most of these charging stations using taxpayer dollars.
My guess is that they will keep doing what they’ve been doing. Building charging networks in areas for outdoor adventuring, where charging options are limited.
