Atlis XT

Pros:

  • Impressive specs: The XT boasts a targeted range of 500 miles on a single charge, exceeding most current electric trucks.
  • Innovative features: The XT comes loaded with unique features like a drone platform in the bed, a 360-degree camera system, and a “digital backbone” for customization and upgrades.
  • Off-road prowess: Designed for adventure, the XT has high ground clearance, all-wheel drive, and advanced suspension for tackling challenging terrain.
  • Sustainability: As an electric vehicle, the XT contributes to reduced emissions and a cleaner environment.

Cons:

  • Unproven performance: With no real-world data yet, the XT’s actual range, capabilities, and features might differ from expectations.
  • Limited availability: Production is just starting, and initial deliveries will likely be slow. Waiting times could be significant.
  • Charging infrastructure: Long charging times and limited fast-charging stations could lead to range anxiety for some users.

Overview:

Another American start-up that has a slice of the electronic pickup market, Atlis, first announced its XT-wedge-loving XT pickup in 2019 with a Mercedes ECS-rivalling 500 miles of range and a 15-minute fully charged time. Wowsers.

The other specifications were also impressive: 600+bhp, 12,000lbs ft of torque, the car can go from 0-60 mph in 5.0secs, and the top speed is 120mph with a payload of 2.3 tonnes and a towing capability of 16 tonnes.

Buyers can choose from either 6.5 or 8ft beds priced from $45,000 for the basic model with a battery of 125kWh and 300 miles of range.

The range-topper is equipped with a battery of 250kWh and a 500-mile range and is priced at $69,000. One more aspect is that Atlas promises an estimated one million miles of travel… Four times the amount that an average British driver covers throughout their life.

9. Alpha Wolf

STARTING MSRP: $36,000 and $46,000

Range: 250-275+ miles (Est.)

Alpha Wolf

Pros:

  • Unique, retro design: The Alpha Wolf has a boxy, utilitarian look reminiscent of classic trucks, which could appeal to a certain segment of buyers.
  • Off-road capability: The truck is designed for off-roading, with features like adjustable suspension, knobby tires, and a low center of gravity.
  • Potential for performance: Electric motors offer instant torque, which could translate to impressive acceleration and towing capacity.
  • Environmentally friendly: Being electric, the Alpha Wolf produces zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air.

Cons:

  • Uncertain future: As a concept, there’s no guarantee the Alpha Wolf will ever make it to production. Even if it does, the final version might differ significantly from the current design.
  • Limited range: The expected range of 250 miles is lower than some competitors, potentially causing range anxiety for long trips.
  • Price: The expected price tag of $35,000 puts it in the higher range for electric pickups, potentially limiting its appeal.

Overview:

The first time we looked at Alpha Wolf was at the beginning of March 2021. At that time, it was a simple 3-D render. Five months later, it’s developed into an actual actual model. It was a quick job.

We’ve got the details about the model so far. There are three versions, including the regular Wolf, The Extended Cab Wolf+, and the double-cab SuperWolf.

The buyers will have the option of single motor 2WD and dual motor 4WD. Alpha estimates that it will be able to go from 0-60mph with a speed of 6.2 seconds, and it has a 75kWh battery that is able to provide an estimated range of 250 miles.

Then there’s this: Alpha is looking to launch the car with a cost of $36k (approx. PS29k). We’ll believe it when we see it.

It was recently unveiled to the world at the Seoul Mobility Show, with plans to bring it into production in Q4 of this year. Meanwhile, take a look at an exclusive video shoot.

8. RAM 1500 REV

STARTING MSRP: $58,000

Range: 350 miles (Est.)

RAM 1500 REV

Overview:

Its Ram 1500 Revolution Electric Vehicle (REV) was first announced as a concept way back in January, and it was revealed in the months before Ram took off the covers of the production version at the Superbowl halftime show one month later—a great opportunity to debut in the world of electric vehicles.

What we’ve learned thus far. Based on Stellanti’s latest STLA Frame platform, it’ll be available in two versions that include a 168kWh battery pack that can travel 350 miles or a 229kWh battery pack that can provide up to 500 miles range.

A maximum of 110 miles of additional range can be reached in just 10 minutes if we are able to find an electric fast charger of 350kW and 645bhp, 620lbf of torque, and a 0-60mph duration of 4.4 seconds sound healthy to us, too.

However, that’s not all. It also comes with Ram 1500 REV boas, with a capacity to payload of 1,225kg and a towing capability of 6,350 and 610mm of wading capabilities and vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-home, and grid-to-grid bidirectional charging. The full launch is planned for the end of this year.

7. GMC Sierra EV

STARTING MSRP: $107,000

Range: 400 miles (Est.)

GMC Sierra EV

  • Powerful and Efficient: Blazing acceleration, 400+ mile range, lower running costs than gas trucks.
  • Tech-Forward: Supercruise semi-autonomous driving, expansive touchscreen, futuristic features.
  • Capability: Impressive towing and hauling capacity, off-road prowess in higher trims.
  • Spacious and Luxurious: Interior comfort on par with luxury SUVs, generous cargo space.

Cons:

  • High Price Tag: Significantly more expensive than gas Sierras, limited availability.
  • Charging Challenges: Requires access to fast charging for long trips, public charging infrastructure still patchy.
  • Towing & Payload: Falls short of gas Sierra’s peak capacities, might not be ideal for heavy-duty use.
  • New Technology: Potential teething issues with EV tech, unproven long-term reliability.

Overview:

The third all-electric truck made by GMC is it’s called the Sierra EV. Similar to its predecessors, the Hummer or Chevrolet’s Silverado EV, it’ll be constructed on the GM Ultium platform. It has two motors that can produce a maximum of 744bhp and 785 lb-feet of torque. In other words, plenty.

It is expected to hit US roads by the beginning of 2024. The first model to be released will be called the Denali Edition 1, and we’re told that it can travel as much as 400 miles on full charge.

350kW charging capacity will allow the car to travel 100 miles in about 10 minutes. In addition, it has a 10.2kW integrated power outlet that will be able to power your home for as long as 21 if there’s a power cut.

As with the Hummer as well, it is able to crawl and walk with the help of four-wheel steering. It also comes with a 600kg payload and a towing capacity of 4,309kg. Prices start at $107,000, so it’s not cheap, but the next models will reduce the cost substantially.

6. Chevrolet Silverado EV

STARTING MSRP: $74,800

Range: 450 miles (Est.)

Chevrolet Silverado EV

Pros:

  • Long range: Up to 450 miles, beating out rivals like the Ford F-150 Lightning.

  • Spacious & techy: Modern interior with big screens, plenty of room, and cool features like a fold-down Multi-Flex midgate.
  • Capable: Decent towing (10,000 lbs) and hauling (1,400 lbs) for an EV.

Cons:

  • Pricey: Starts at $52,000 for the Work Truck, jumps to $106,895 for the top RST First Edition.
  • Lower payload: Can’t carry as much as gas-powered Silverado or some EV rivals.
  • Not the smoothest ride: Can be floaty and handle corners less confidently than some.
  • Limited trims: Only Work Truck and RST currently available, with more trims (including off-road focused Trail Boss) coming later.

Overview:

As night follows day, the same way, a Chevrolet pickup truck is a follow-up to the same pattern as a Ford pickup. I don’t believe it’s a repurposed engineered combustion Silverado. It’s constructed from scratch using the same platform as Hummer EV. Hummer EV.

When it goes on sale in 2023, Buyers can choose between the bells’n’whistles quality of $15,000 RST First Edition or the more rugged and ready, as well as the more affordable $39,900 Work Truck (WT). Differences?

While the former comes with 664bhp and 780lbft of torque, a payload of 600kg, and a towing capability of 3650kg, the second gives you 510bhp as well as 615 lb-ft of torque. They are paying 550kg and a towing capacity of 3,650kg. It is healthy enough.

The best aspect of it is the bed. It’s 5ft 11 inches long. However, by opening the midgate, you can get 9 feet or, with the tailgate that can be extended to 10 feet 10 inches, you get a massive 10 feet 10 inches.

5. Hummer EV

STARTING MSRP: $80,000

Range: 381 miles (Est.)

Hummer EV

Pros:

  • Mind-blowing performance: Super fast acceleration, impressive off-road capability.
  • Unique and luxurious interior: Open-air options, cool gadgets, spacious cabin.
  • Cutting-edge technology: Advanced driver-assist features, immersive infotainment system.

Cons:

  • High price tag: Starts at $80,000, topping out over $100,000.
  • Limited practicality: Lower towing capacity and payload compared to rivals.
  • Questionable build quality: Reports of interior glitches and subpar materials.

Overview:

The Hummer EV doesn’t work for tradespeople. Not really. Take a look. Are you looking for some numbers? It’s 18 feet long, about six feet and a half tall, over seven feet wide, and weighs over four tonnes. It looks like a model, at the very least.

The company claims to be “the ultimate off-road electric supertruck.” The 12,000-dollar First Edition models have 1,000bhp generated by three electric motors (drawing the power from GM’s new “Ultium” battery) and 11,500lb of torque. They can achieve 60mph from a standstill in just three seconds and can travel for approximately 350 miles.

It is equipped with up to 37 inches of tires and the “CrabWalk” option that orients both rear and front wheels in the exact same direction.

GM states that the Hummer can climb “18-inch horizontals” and float through more than 600mm of water. It’s the Navy SEAL of pickups or, in other words.

4. Lordstown Endurance

STARTING MSRP: $65,060

Range: 174 miles (Est.)

Lordstown Endurance

  • Fast DC charging: Supports up to 350 kW for quick charging on road trips.

Cons:

  • Limited driving range: Lower range (240 miles) compared to some competitors.
  • Basic interior & ride quality: Feels utilitarian & less refined than newer EVs.
  • Uncertain production & future: Company faced financial struggles, impacting production & deliveries.
  • Higher current price: Price increase makes it less competitive compared to similar trucks.

Overview:

Lordstown Motors is named after Lordstown, Ohio, where the company has the old General Motors factory.

In fact, it did until it was transferred in 2021 to the tech company Foxconn, which was a plan to raise funds to get the company’s Endurance electronic pickup to begin production, which it finally did in late 2022.

It’s a good thing. The Endurance is designed to be a true work truck, more akin to the F-150 as opposed to the Rivian model, featuring four hub motors in the wheel and a 109kWh battery that provides an estimated 250-mile range.

The initial plans were to construct 50 trucks by 2022 and 150 more in the first quarter of the year. More details as we learn…

3. Tesla Cybertruck

STARTING MSRP: $65,060 

Range: 340 miles (Est.)

Tesla Cybertruck

As unique as any truck or vehicle – even a car – has been seen before. The widely-hyped Tesla Cybertruck was set to launch production in late 2021 – Tesla is rumored to have several hundred thousand pre-orders. However, the date slipped away after it was moved forward to the year 2022.

In the meantime, Elon announced it was being pushed back until 2023 and has taken a step further by saying it will be entering production in the second quarter of this year.

Fingers crossed, what we know to date. Pricing is expected to begin at just under $40,000 for the single motor, rear-drive model and increase up to $75,000 for an all-wheel drive tri-motor model, which has a theoretical “500plus miles” range with the model has a 1.5-tonne maximum payload and more than six tons of towing capacity.

It can go from 0-60 mph within 2.9 seconds. Tesla says this is that what Cybertruck will appear like when it is in production. It will also have an unpainted stainless steel body, as well as toughened glass with seating space for 6. Do you like the look?

2. Rivian R1T

STARTING MSRP: $73,000

Range: 321 to 410 miles (Est.)

Cons:

  • High price: The R1T starts at around $73,000, making it one of the most expensive trucks on the market.
  • Limited availability: Rivian is still a young company, and production of the R1T is currently limited. This means there may be long wait times for orders.
  • Heavy reliance on technology: The R1T’s many features are controlled through a large touchscreen, which some drivers may find frustrating.
  • Charging infrastructure: While DC fast charging is available, the network of charging stations is still not as extensive as for gasoline vehicles.

Overview:

An all-electric pickup truck made by the American startup… you’re aware of the direction this truck is headed. Right? You’re not since it’s a pickup made by an American company known as Rivian. And, unlike the other pickup made by the same business, it’s already in production.

The first trucks come with 300 miles of range (longer versions with shorter ranges are in the pipeline) and a quad-motor motor that can get you acceleration from 0-60mph in less than three seconds. Prices starting at $73,000 (approx. £59k).

There’s plenty of space for loadspace also, with 330 litres under the bonnet area and 350 liters inside the ‘gear tunnel’ lockable, as well as a sealed 200-litre bin under the floor of the rear bed. It can claim to wade through more than 800mm of water and tow up to five tonnes.

The R1S is a seven-seater SUV that’s a sibling of the R1T that Rivian started to deliver in December 2021. It’s known as the R1S.

1. Ford F-150 Lightning

STARTING MSRP: $57,090

Range: 240 to 300 miles (Est.)

  • Unique features: Onboard generator, spacious frunk, innovative tech like BlueCruise hands-free driving.
  • Familiar truck experience: Comfortable ride, retains F-150’s capability and utility.

Cons:

  • Higher upfront cost: Significantly more expensive than gas F-150s.
  • Limited range: Especially with extended towing or cold weather.
  • Charging infrastructure: Relies on public chargers or home setup, which can be slow.
  • Fewer configurations: Only crew cab/short bed option currently available.

Overview:

It’s a big deal. Ford F-150 going electric is huge news, not just because the standard model has been the most popular North American vehicle (not just a truck) for the past 40 years.

Since the Lightning model – which takes its name from the performance-oriented F-150s powered by petrol was announced in May of 2021, tens of thousands of Americans have reserved a car.

There’s a potential for the Lightning’s power at 572bhp, 775 lb-feet, and an estimated 325 miles range. It comes with a huge front trunk as well as bi-directional power.

That means the Lightning can run your tools, or your entire home, for a long period, depending on the needs. The maximum payload is 900kg, and it is able to pull 4.5 tonnes. Prices vary from $60,000 to $100,000.

But is America ready to switch to electric? In the past, TG Editor Jack Rix spent two days in the States to investigate this and gauge Americans’ opinions about Ford’s brand-new electric pickup.
