It’s definite that Americans have an affinity for pickup trucks. For automobile manufacturers venturing into the electric vehicles’ domain, targeting pickups seems like a shrewd move. By merging a well-liked category with an emission-free power system, a company could create something remarkable. As the number of electric trucks is on the rise, we’ve simplified everything to give details on each model coming soon or already in the market. Have a look at all these noiseless heavy-duty and hauling vehicles below.

This has the potential to revolutionize the game.

Ford F-150 Lightning
Earlier this year, the 2022 F-150 Lightning made a huge impact in the emerging market. Its appearance is similar to that of a standard F-150, which could help it become widely accepted. The specs are impressive too, boasting up to 300 miles of range, full-time four-wheel drive, and up to 563 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque. It can go from 0-60 mph in approximately 4.4 seconds when the throttle is kicked. These numbers should not be overlooked, especially since Ford intends for the Lightning to function like a regular F-150 with regards to payload and towing. The truck can carry up to 2,000 pounds of payload, and tow up to 10,000 pounds.
The F-150 Lightning will be available in two powertrain variants: Standard Range and Extended Range. The former will offer a range of approximately 230 miles and will be less powerful. The trim levels will include the Pro, XLT, Lariat and Limited, with the Pro being geared towards commercial use. The base truck will start at around $40,000, while a fully-equipped XLT will cost about $53,000. The Limited option, with all available features, will cost around $90,000. It’s important to note that the F-150 Lightning is eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit if applicable. Reservations are currently open and production is set to begin in spring 2022. As the best-selling vehicle in the US, the success of the F-150 Lightning will be a true test of Americans’ willingness to embrace electric trucks.

If you’re a fan of the Bolt EV’s front design, you’ll definitely appreciate it on the Silverado EV, where it perfectly blends in. The fact that Chevrolet is releasing the Silverado EV shortly after Ford’s F-150 Lightning may not be unexpected, but it appears that the two companies have different priorities when it comes to their target customers.
Making its debut at CES 2022, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado is a consumer-oriented vehicle targeting high-end buyers with its price tag starting at $105,000 before destination charges. Initially offered in a single RST First Edition trim, the vehicle boasts two electric motors that provide a combined output of up to 664 horsepower and 780 pound-feet of torque. Furthermore, the vehicle’s battery size enables an estimated range of 400 miles on a single charge according to the manufacturer. With a towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds and a hauling capacity of up to 1,300 pounds, the Silverado EV RST is truly multifaceted.
There’s plenty of standard equipment, ranging from adaptable air suspension to Super Cruise, a stationary panoramic roof, and a 17-inch LCD entertainment screen. Furthermore, an innovative door is located between the back seats and the cargo space, which, in conjunction with a multiposition tailgate, can accommodate cargo that is almost 11 feet in length.

Chevrolet has also introduced the Silverado WT for those seeking a more work-focused option, targeted at fleets. Although power output has been reduced to 510 hp and 615 lb.-ft., estimated range remains at 400 miles. This model is capable of towing up to 8,000 pounds and carrying loads of up to 1,200 pounds. In the future, GM plans to release a high-capacity towing version that can tow up to 20,000 pounds.
The Silverado EV WT will be launched in the spring of 2023, with the RST First Edition to be released in the following autumn.

There will also be an SUV variant of the vehicle.
GMC will be offering the GMC Hummer EV, which is not a complete rebranding of the Hummer line. Rather, the Hummer EV pickup will be sold as a sub-brand by GMC dealerships. Despite this, the reemergence of the Hummer name after its initial discontinuation a decade ago is considered one of the most remarkable automobile name resurrections in history.
The Hummer EV Edition 1, which is the introductory version of the truck, guarantees a range of over 350 miles, a trimotor configuration, 1,000 horsepower, and an approximate 0-60 mph acceleration time of 3 seconds. However, it’s uncertain whether these specifications will apply to lower-end Hummers. Frankly, I wouldn’t count on it. Nonetheless, for those who choose to purchase the initial Hummer EV models, there are plenty of additional appealing features.
The Super Cruise hands-free driving assistant from GM is included as a standard feature, along with an adaptive air suspension and a four-wheel steering system that boasts the highly anticipated CrabWalk mode. This mode enables the truck to move diagonally by having both the front and rear tires steer at the same angle. The addition of 18-inch wheels, paired with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler tires, enhances the off-road capability of the truck. Furthermore, drivers have multiple ways of viewing their performance as they conquer various terrains, thanks to the presence of underbody armor, rock sliders, and underbody cameras.
The Edition 1, which is no longer available, was priced at $112,595 before the destination charge. GMC aims to introduce the pickup truck this year, ahead of the standard truck set to release in 2022, and a more reasonably priced variant with a dual-motor setup arriving in 2023 for $89,995. However, the term “affordable” may be subjective since the price point is still quite high. The Hummer EV’s “base” model will be released in spring 2024 and will cost $79,995.

Ram is also working on an electric truck. The brand, which is one of Stellantis’ most profitable, has announced plans to enter the electric pickup truck market in 2024. It is not known what size the electric truck will be, but Ram has mentioned the potential for both full-size and midsize options, which could lead to the revival of the electric Dakota. A teaser image has been released, showing a futuristic-looking truck, but it will be a few years before Ram unveils the final product.

This electric truck is likely the most highly anticipated one.

Tesla’s Cybertruck
Even individuals who typically display no interest in vehicle launches appear to be aware of this cutting-edge electric pickup truck. With CEO Elon Musk in attendance to introduce the revolutionary vehicle to the world (and witness the shattering of its window), the Cybertruck alerted the EV pickup market and proved that there could be a market for them in the future.
Tesla has plans to offer the Cybertruck in three variants: a tri-motor, all-wheel drive model, a dual-motor AWD model, and a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive version which will serve as the base pickup. The base price is expected to start from $39,900, however, the first trucks to be released will be the tri-motor models, starting at $69,900. Each model varies in terms of performance, with the tri-motor offering approximately 500 miles of range, 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 2.9 seconds, and a 14,000-pound towing capacity. Similarly, the dual-motor model is anticipated to offer 300 miles of range and able to tow 10,000 pounds, while the single-motor EV pickup will provide up to 250 miles of range and tow up to 7,500 pounds.
Last year, it was announced that a new Gigafactory would be constructed in Austin, Texas to produce the Cybertruck; however, the scheduled start for 2021 has been postponed by Tesla. Instead, the company plans to commence beta testing for the truck later this year, with production now slated for 2022.
Resized Picture
In September, Rivian produced its initial batch of custom trucks. The Rivian R1T has attracted significant attention and has managed to sustain it. Furthermore, the automaker is highly reputable in the realm of electric pickup trucks, courtesy of significant investments from notable firms like Ford and Amazon.
When the Max battery pack is chosen by buyers, the R1T is approximately the same size as a Honda Ridgeline and has a range of over 400 miles. With the Max battery pack, the vehicle can deliver over 800 horsepower. Additionally, there is a bigger battery pack option that guarantees a range of 300 miles or more. Furthermore, Rivian aims to reveal a different R1T model that strives to offer a range of approximately 250 miles.
The corporation believes that it has achieved the perfect blend of an electric pickup truck that can be used on a regular basis while also being capable of off-road driving without inducing worry. Additionally, it features an array of practical storage options and there is a list of appealing accessories in the works. Although production was intended to commence last year, the coronavirus pandemic caused a delay in their schedule. After a few setbacks earlier this year, Rivian crafted the first batch of consumer trucks and they will be shipped out in September. Prices for this nifty vehicle start at $67,500.

The Bollinger B2, which is the pickup iteration of the company’s B1 SUV, boasts the same sleek appearance and technical specifications. Despite its steep $125,000 price tag, the B2 adopts a more simplistic approach. During its roll-out in 2017, the startup announced the availability of 60 kWh or 100 kWh batteries, however, the B2 chassis cab now features 120 kWh and 180 kWh batteries, which will fortunately provide a minimum range of 200 miles to retail trucks. The original estimate of 120 miles is no longer adequate by current standards.
The remaining specifications are quite remarkable, with 614 horsepower, 668 pound-feet of torque, and a competitive towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. In addition, the B2 has a payload capacity of 5,000 pounds.
The release of the B2 into the market was originally planned for the previous year. Nevertheless, the company has been silent on this matter throughout the current year as well. It may be that Bollinger’s pickup will not be available until 2022. The start-up has recently relocated to a new headquarter and has announced plans to double its workforce by hiring new employees. Moreover, earlier this year, the company disclosed its ambition to produce Class 3, 4, and 5 working vehicles.

Stuck in an uncertain state.
Lordstown Motors’ Endurance pickup is among the troubled ones in this lineup. The company acquired General Motors’ plant in Lordstown, Ohio last year to launch itself into existence, and quickly announced its debut model, the Endurance pickup. Despite progress in building test trucks and offering ride-along experiences, the startup was hit with financial troubles, leaving it in dire need of cash.
Preorders for the truck are still available, but Lordstown Motors announced during the summer that no confirmed orders have been received yet as the company seeks new funding. Despite Lordstown Motors’ claim that production of the truck would commence in September, no updates have been provided as of yet. Instead, the startup has expressed their intent to sell the Ohio-based plant to Foxconn, a Taiwanese company. Whether or not the Endurance truck will actually materialize remains uncertain, but the vehicle is projected to have a 250-mile range and 600 horsepower due to its four in-wheel motors, and the ability to tow up to 7,500 pounds. The truck starts at a price of $52,500.

Prototype images of the Atlis XT electric pickup truck were revealed by Atlis in the previous summer. The XT was first announced in early 2019, making waves due to its impressive features. Though updates have been scarce, a September update revealed that the vehicle is intended to compete in the heavy-duty pickup truck market, with specs to match. The company’s initiative includes releasing a dually version of the XT, which can tow up to 35,000 pounds. The XT will also boast an air suspension, enabling 12 inches of ground clearance, and a fifth-wheel gooseneck hitch option for larger towing needs.
Specifics regarding the powertrain are sparse, but one battery pack is anticipated to have a capacity of 125 kWh and feature a tab-free prism structure. Quick charging times under 15 minutes are guaranteed utilizing the “Atlis 1.5 MW charging station.” Atlis has also expressed interest in providing the truck with different variants boasting ranges of 300, 400, and 500 miles. The starting price is projected to be approximately $45,000, which appears to be ambitious; nonetheless, the company has presented an acquisition model known as the “Atlis Subscribers Club.” For a monthly fee of $700, subscribers will receive the truck, insurance, maintenance, and charging coverage. The monthly expense will increase as additional features are incorporated. Prospective buyers must assist Atlis in raising funds for truck production. Internal research and development are continuing in Mesa, Arizona.

This particular vehicle is currently not well-known and still in development phase. Henrik Fisker, CEO of Fisker, shared an image of the Fisker Alaska pickup on Twitter in February and removed it shortly thereafter. Although there is little information available regarding this model, Fisker disclosed that it is developing a modular electric vehicle platform that could serve as the foundation for a series of cost-effective EV models, which suggests the existence of a forthcoming pickup truck. As a result, the Fisker Alaska ranks last on this list.
Fisker is currently concentrating on launching its Ocean SUV in the coming year. Therefore, it might take some time before any information about the Alaska is disclosed – provided it enters into the production stage while retaining its name. It is worth noting that French automobile manufacturer Renault already offers a pickup truck named Alaskan.
