At CES 2020 someone took a photo of Rivian's home charger and the thing that stands out is the "Installed by Amazon home services" written on the display.

And free delivery for Prime customer!
"Amazon home services": Like many of these services, major metropolitan areas only. And not in even some of those.
And I found one article that makes it sound like Amazon has scaled this service back.
And I am going to guess that the people fulfilling this service would need to be a licensed Electrician in that given area and have to pull a permit.
Probably better to just find and go with local electrician directly.

That charger in the picture appears to be a ChargePoint Flex. It's even got ChargePoint branding on it. Nothing to indicate it's special to Rivian.
Amazon outsources installs to local contractors of the "lowest bid" variety. No way would I use them. If you aren't comfortable installing the charger, yourself, then find a quality electrician.

On Amazon's website it says "All our service pros are handpicked and required to be business background-checked, insured, and licensed if applicable" so it does seem like it has to be Amazon approved.

I ordered a Chargepoint Home Flex using the same email address as my Rivian pre-order. My Chargepoint app automatically added a “Subscribers - Rivian Auto Integration” entry under my Connections menu setting.
